Either way you choose its based on faith in something.

Neither position can be conclusively proven, so why not live and let live?

Believing based upon a mountain of evidence isn't faith. <-Evolution

Belief based upon fucking nothing is faith. <- creationism

Do you not understand the difference?

The difference is you choose to have faith in scientific theory and dismiss anything else. Your quote "based upon fucking nothing" proves it.

The difference between scientific theory and religious doctrine is that scientific theiry is subject to change in the presence of new facts or evidence. Religion only changes their doctrine if it's in danger of becoming culturally irrelevant.
