Faith is not completely void of proof. Quite to the contrary in fact. Now those that want to say that everything they have faith in is provable scientifically have a problem also I admit. But the things I have faith in develop out of a platform of truth that has been developed over time. I believe not against what I see proven, but instead I believe what I do because I see it as the logical, yet not provable, extension of those proofs.

I should add that I'm not really sold on Young Earth Theory, even though I am very solidly a creationist.
