Mr. Devious chooses to put his faith in man, and I choose to put mine in God.
Ah that old chestnut. Thing is, Evolution isn't strictly a matter of faith because it is supported by VAST amoungs of evidence, and most people don't understand or know of 1% of the evidence that exists. I'm no evolutionary biologist, but I have a friend who's a 3rd year science student and has explained quite a huge amount to me. As he pointed out "I've argued with creationists and I haven't heard from one that actually understood evolution, or how it works. Every argument they've given against it I can already explain". Evolutionists put "faith" in evolution, like Albert Hoffman put "faith" in his formula for LSD.

Regardless (and here's the kicker), I'm not a strict proponent of evolution. I believe, from examining the huge amount of facts, that evolution plays some degree in the developement of species. I don't actually know if evolution is the sole catylist of complexity found in life.
But therein lies the different between our supposed "faiths". Evolution is based on the interpretation of empiricle evidence. Creationism is based on filling god in as an explanation where we don't currently have one. Creation doesn't actually utilize any empiracle evidence, or examine and build on observable and repeatable evidence, it rather works under a false notion of "well we don't have the answers here, here, and here.... therefor that proves god did it."

So yes, there is a clear distinciton between the two supposed "faiths". And as for faith itself, I only hold it for that which has repeatedly and consistently held true. The only absolute faith I have is that the world is a very complex place that we'll continuously need to explore and examine. I'm not just going to fill in the answer where I don't have one.


You can try as hard as you like, but you will NEVER prove God wrong. It's not possible.
Funny, because it's been done countless of times. But in a way you are right, I've seen a thousand different creationist arguments proved wrong time and again, only to be ignored by the devoted and used once again. So yes, it is impossible to prove god wrong in the eyes of those so devoted to him that they won't consider reasoning which doesn't match up with their presuppositions. God has been proven wrong on many fronts, however, in the eyes of those who weigh information objectively.

You can say I'm biasedly only supporting evidence in favour of my presupposition, but you would be wrong. I firmly believed in god till I was 19 years old, and I only became an atheist (at least in the sense of god being some spitefull external being as portrayed in many primitive texts) after spending 2 year examing every logical argument made by every side of the debate. Every creationist argument I heard, no matter how much I wanted to believe it, had an obvious logical flaw. My 2 year search was with the purpose of finding the right arguments and confirming what I so badly wanted to believe, that god really was up there. Instead I found a much harder truth.
