And what is that - they generally have faith in?

How can you say someone has weak faith when you don't know what faith is - nor do you know - what they have faith in?

“How can you say someone has weak faith when you don’t know what faith is - nor do you know - what they have faith in?”

I didn’t say I didn’t know, I just didn’t answer your question. I was waiting for you to have a point.

I would agree with you that it would be difficult to reach a conclusion when, in fact, you do not understand the subject at hand - which definitely applies to “creation science” types - who claim to know the answer before engaging in any scientific research.

As for faith, nobody can say, for sure, that they fully understand faith. There are plenty that claim it, but nobody really knows - that’s why it is faith.

This is why matters of faith are and rightfully should be separate from matters of science, and why no matter what science discovers, faith will be unaffected.

In the case of “creation science” they can’t separate faith and science - and generally claim expertise in both, when th reality is that they have expertise in neither.
