You're a Moderate then. You don't take what the Bible says seriously. At least not the violent and cruel parts.

I don't see what that would have to do with not thinking science is real. :/

I don't mean to insult you, but there are things we know for certain reasons.

A lot of things we know to be true because of evidence associated to them.

Some things are thought to be true, based on what a book of lore says.

Conflicts can arise between the two~
One person thinks that a god created all organisms/life.
Another person knows through thorough evidence, that a god does not get credit for the creation of life.

I don't see how God can't get credit for the creation of life, even if it didn't happen in the literal sense that is written in the Bible. God could be behind evolution and the big bang and etc.

Can you demonstrate that in any way?

Nope. Which is why it's called Faith, bro.

Science I can demonstrate. Faith I can't. They are two different beasts.

I would claim that you can demonstrate faith. Give me a definition of faith.

Faith: strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.

No proof = No way to demonstrate.

Exactly! It is a belief which is not settled in evidence, and not demonstrable.
It's intellectual dishonesty to claim that 'faith' or any product of it can be measured against an idea/product/thing/entity with substantial evidence to support it.

I guess my problem is with religion~
I would have no problem with people having their own religions and their own ideas about the world, it's just when they pester others about it that I get frisky.
