That latter approach is pure faith with no reason, which is, IMHO, every bit as bad as a stance that the Bible is a complete fairytale with no examination of the facts. In other words, you must have BOTH faith AND reason - one without the other leaves you short. G-d gave us the capacity to believe things on faith, and also the capacity to reason - one would think that there's a purpose behind that dual capacity. Unreasoning faith has literally murdered millions (billions, if you count unborn descendants of those murdered), and I am quite confident that such is NOT what G-d intended or wanted (though, of course, we MUST have free will for existence to have any meaning, so they happened despite G-d's intentions and/or desires).
“He has done his job as both a SCIENTIST and as an HONEST HUMAN BEING and examined the facts.”
I’m glad you thought to separate the two... they are generally two different things. /sarc
I cannot argue with your logic in this post. The Bible begs to be examined and commends those who test it for truth. The unfortunate thing is that most evolutionists have thrown the baby out with the bathwater and chosen to believe in faith that evolution is true, forasking all reason when it comes to Scripture.

I must imagine that if this quote is pertaining to abortion you would be talking about the faith evolutionists have in the theory Darwin presented. I’m not familiar with a role that Christianity has played in abortion, other than complacency... which is plausible since the Word says, “to him who knows the good he ought to do and does not do it, to him that is sin” (Pardon the paraphrase).
