Belief in something that can't be proven can only be sustained based on what?

You're loathe to admit that 'evidence' is not conclusive. Therefore your theory cannot be proven. You don't like it that I use that word. I don't blame you.

Are you aware that no scientific theory is ever proven?

Just asking.

A preponderance of the evidence.

No, I am not. The 'evidence' is not conclusive.

Therefore your theory cannot be proven.

Which theory?

You don't like it that I use that word.

If you mean either the word "faith" or the word "proof" then my objection to your use of them is that it's false (and inane).

I don't blame you.

I don't have anything against you either. My concern is scientific progress and the education necessary to promote it. Otherwise, I have no problem with you believing whatever makes you happy.

Your use of that word simply exposes your determination to ignore the evidence and retain your misunderstanding of how science works.
