And Embedded:

-----------

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.

Lmfao, astonishingly enough there are a few in here who come across in the very same way as these people. 

I believe in God, but I have also believed in evolution ever since I was a young child.

There is no need to have the two at odds with each other. Even the earliest Christians didn't believe in the literal interpretation of Genesis. Even the proto Christians wrote about how Genesis was allegorical.

How can you believe in both?

It's pretty easy to believe in both, actually. So long as you don't take the Old Testament as literal history (which you shouldn't. When it was called the Torah, Jews did NOT take it as history, but as a spiritual guide open for interpretation) there is nothing about evolution that contradicts Christian faith.

I'm curious: how old do you think the universe is?

It speaks for itself man, 46% of people in the US take Genesis literally.

Your bewilderment is not an argument against the fact placed in front of you. 

You don't seem to know much about the evidence for evolution because you point to fossils, which aren't even necessary. They are nice for the layman because they are visual, but without any fossils at all the theory has all the evidence it needs in DNA.

Do you realize we're lucky to have any fossils at all? To expect a perfect record of intermediate states it completely asinine. If you want a collection of intermediate fossils go here:

There are no fallacies in evolution. I challenge you to name any. And lack of fossil evidence isn't a fallacy anymore than lack of god evidence is a fallacy.

Now that I think about it more, there is not exactly a huge difference between devout believers of creationism and evolution. They just both require faith. One requires faith in an ancient book and the other requires faith in that scientists are not bullshitting you. Simply because it is reported by a scientist or experts, many people will just believe. Heck, if a bunch of scientists decided to announce that ingesting mercury will give you stronger muscles with a bunch of seemingly realistic figures, there is not many who wouldn't believe them. I'm sure scientists fudge their numbers a little all the time. I'm not saying that you shouldn't believe in anything, I'm just saying do not take any source for an absolute truth

Religious faith is belief without evidence. I've heard people call it "evidence in things unseen." 

Evolution is built upon a mountain of evidence. Maybe review my previous post to you about it - you don't have to take anyone's word for it. Just go review the evidence yourself - not hard.

Hilarious quip at the end - that's exactly what theists do...take their holy book as absolute truth. Your hypocrisy is profound, sir.

Please stop speaking from total ignorance on matters you clearly can't fathom.

Mountains of evidence that you have never seen aside from articles dude. Also, its my point that theists and atheists in general do take things at face value without making sure. The smart person can make a doubt. Also, look at you immediately getting on the defensive despite me not attacking atheists but rather ignorant people.
