Religion seldom offers any sort of evidence to examine, and is a matter of philosophy rather than science. Dear Mr. Randi, I think you misunderstand where the believer is coming from. If I unwittinglyaccept something as fact on the basis of faulty evidence, that is bad science. But if I willingly accept something as fact, despite understanding that all available evidence is to the contrary, that is faith. I understand that the creation account of Genesis cannot be reconciled with science.
All scientific evidence is to the contrary.
Nevertheless, I choose to believe it anyway. Because I believe that willful disbelief is a grounds for damnation. I believe, even though I know I will never understand. From time to time, all believers have their doubts, just as all believers also face temptation. Yes, I occasionally have my doubts about creation.
