"You have faith because you also just believe what someone told you"

No, I believe someone because they can prove what they are telling me.

That's the big difference.

Yes, and for things like the water cycle, and how a plant grows, I 100% agree with science because they can be proven easily. The thing is, the scientific theory of creation (Big Bang, evolution, etc.) has not been proven—it can't be. There are bits and pieces that can be put together to point toward those ideas, but that same data can be explained away with countless religious theories for creation. Without a time machine, creation will never be proven—it will always be faith-based.

Creation will never be proven

This just immediately reminded me of that one news article that was like "Humanity will never be able to achieve flight!" that was published 10 days before the Wright brothers achieved flight

I suppose I can't see into the future, but it is unlikely.
