"BeHereNow : Well , youÂ ’ re just begging the question of what is evidence . You are saying religious belief ( others might say religious knowledge ) is not evidence . If it is scientific , it is evidence . If it is not scientific , it is not evidence . Have I got it right ? Obvious child : If you use the proper definition of faith yes . Faith is a belief in something with no evidence ."
"Well , I certainly never used the word faith , but since you brought it up , what do you put your faith in ? What is it you believe in with no evidence ? Could it be science ? What is your evidence that science is true , except more science ? Scientific evidence which supports science is circular reasoning . It is no different than using the bible to support the bible . The bible is evidence for creationism , if you accept the bible as literally true . And there are many reasons ( mostly non-scientific ) to accept the bible as true . Every belief system is supported by pillars of belief , ultimately based on faith . Some of these belief systems have pillars that are short , and solid , and other systems are supported by pillars that are tall and spindly . Each of us intuits one or more pillars to be true , and our belief system follows . You have intuited science to be true , and the resulting belief system finds the bible to be based on faith . Others have intuited the bible to be true , and the resulting belief system finds science to be based on faith . I intuit that you each have it half right , combining faith and evidence to arrive at your belief system ."
