What the creationists due is put their faith in a book that was written by bronze age dwellers of the middle east.

Evolutionists put their faith in a book written by a man on a long sea voyage with nothing better to do with his time.

yes and physicists put their faith in a man who failed high school math. and rocket scientists put their faith in a man who built terror weapons for the Nazi's....

the man you deride, was a scientist who went on a voyage of discovery and yes he had nothing better to do.....whats your point?

Most Christians who take the Bible literally are also evangelicals and believe in a personal experience with God - its really God who gets the faith - at least that’s the way its supposed to work.

As for Darwin - his work was 150 years ago. Modern evolutionary theory didn’t even start until 1930. Darwinism is a philosophy and nobody really has faith in it. Scientists have faith in the exploration and fact checking of the scientific method, not Darwin. Nobody would look to a doctor or astronomer from 150 years ago for answers.

Even then this is two different types of faith.

One is faith in something we know cannot be proved and the other is faith in process of proving what we can and continuing to search. Very different uses of the same word.
