And faith in God isn't without proof. Read the Gospels some times.

Nonsense. The word of a 2000-year-old book written by Man is no kind of scientific evidence of God's existence; but I do not need scientific evidence any more than you do to be convinced of his existence. Such is the nature of faith.

And saying that "...faith is about belief without proof. Science is about proof without belief." doesn't make science somehow superior to faith as is always the implication.

Nowhere did I say or imply that science is superior to faith. As a matter of fact, I explicitly said that they are complementary. One cannot replace the other.

The smugness and sense of superiority that always comes across when evos make that comment is unjustified as they operate on faith as much as those whose faith is in God instead of man.

I am an "evo", so your comment strikes me with the same sort of smugness and sense of superiority that you allude to. Do not paint everyone with the same brush - that is called prejudice.

Tell your evo compatriots that as well.

They're great at lumping every non-evo in the 6 day, 6,000 year, YEC the whole Bible must be read literally with no consideration of grammatical style category, and then mocking them as ignorant, talibanesque, flat-earther, Luddites who are going to take the whole world back into the *Dark Ages*.
