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.

Okay, then you simply don't understand what religious faith is.

If you're going to use faith in such a liberal way just call it a belief. The scientific method works, it is demonstrably true so more accurately I trust it. It has earned that trust through every bit of scientific invention. Planes fly, computers compute, cars drive, the list is really endless. 

I dismiss anything that has no evidence. That's how rational minds work.
