By my definition "faith" is something accepted with no genuine evidence. As in "I accept on faith that the guy wasn't a murderer, because he told me he wasn't".
That's completly counter to evolution which has mountains of evidence. The new link pointed out to me today is merely one a great many. Yet, as the OJ Jury refused to consider DNA evidence, many creationists refuse to take that link as "evidence" for evolution and declare it "faith" instead.
I can't help but notice that some of the same folks bolstering evolution by mocking Christianity on this thread are the same folks who rail against us Christian barbarians when we pass laws banning "gay marriage." Odd coincidence!
I really haven't seen anyone railing against laws banning "gay marriage" around FR. But maybe I just don't frequent posts on the subject. I think gay marriage is damaging to civilization because like creatures evolve, I think cultures evolve as well. And our culture has demonstrated its success by being generally sexually straight and monogamous. I think that homosexuality is a "step backwards" in the evolution of civilization.
As for railing at Christians, It's hard for me as a Christian to not get mad at fellow Christians who are so obviously wrong about evolution. It makes me look stupid if I claim to be a Christian among scientifically literate non-Christians. Creationism is damaging to Christianity, because such non-Christians are never likely to take anything Christians say seriously and perhaps come to know God as a result.
Romans 5:12-21
12. Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned--
13. for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
14. Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come.
15. But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
16. Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification.
17. For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18. Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.
19. For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
20. The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
21. so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
