What if I produce a few books that confirm my belief, is that enough to prove it?
What if I say past scientists talk to me from beyond the grave and tell me I'm right, is that proof enough? If not, what would be?

Maybe read a few books on the theory of evolution. Actually don't read the books in full.....just read a few paragraphs from each book.
Now you should know enough about evolution.....just maintain faith in the few paragraphs you've read. That's enough.
Maybe try to get other people to have faith in evolution by quoting the paragraphs that you've read and if anyone mentions other parts of the books about evolution....just tell them you don't care about their logic.....because you have faith.
Good question!

Having faith in evolution does not make it true. It is true whether you believe it or not. The proof is that this year you will have a cold. Last year or the one before it you had a cold. Why? The virus evolved.
You probably can't flap your ears like your dog. Some people can. Less can now than could 200 years ago. Why? You evolved.
Evolution is the change in population over time. That is a psuedo-mathematical formula: change divided by population equals evolution. I see no faith in the formula.

Some fossils and an understanding of natural selection could help. I'd look at facts first.
If that fails just fold your hands together (so they can't do anything) and then close your eyes (so you cant see) and then talk to people that are not there (just in case there are a few people that are not convinced you are completely nuts at this point). Do it down on your knees in the corner though so you are out of the way, cause at this point you are pretty much useless.

HUM ! Lots and lots of pastors have shown proof that evolution is not true too. For me i don't look like an ape do you ? As for talking to people beyond the grave . Have you talked to Lincoln too. What kind of meds are you on. I don't know if some people may have talked to a mother or father that was dead. BUT come on a scientist. I don't think you believe this your self.

Faith in anything doesnt mean it is true. The evidence of it is. There has been much evidence to things said in the Bible. and when God talks to you , you too will know.
Read all the Bible says, and then see if you still want to condemn it.
I find it most interesting. SO many cant believe in creator God, when they hear of and see miracles, etc.
Yet , they can easy believe in the big bang theory or whatever else. Were you there? did you see it? Did you find a book written long ago that tells it.?
But, what if you found a book, full of answers , and discovered it was true, would you still dismiss it, just cuz it didnt fit what you wanted it to be? Good question to ask yourself.
No dead scientist can talk to you from the grave, as God says the ppl in the grave know nothing. God says only evil spirits talk to us and pretend to be past ppl in our lives. Again, that settles it for me. What God says goes. No other way. He preaches love and forgiveness. Dont you want that. the devil preaches hate and division. no life as far as sI am concerned.
BUt, we each can choose which master we serve, and where we end up. Either we accept God and go to heaven. Or we reject God and choose Hell. God doesnt send anyone there, they choose it for themselves. Press on....

If we mischaracterize evolution as a faith-based system then we would need to do that for quantum physics, relativity, gravitational theory, newtonian physics, chaos theory, etc. etc. Faith isn't the mechanism of discovery here; scientific method is. So ... the question is flawed.

It takes much more faith to believe life just happened rather than God did it...
Expressed as x:1 odds, x > 10 ^ 1000 just to have a planet capable of supporting life as we know it.
Orbit a single star: Binary and higher order systems would be too unstable. - 1 year orbiting a "normal" star and the next year around a white dwarf? Too much variation.

Right. How much proof do people need? Sometimes it's in front of our faces but we see through it. We can't see the forest because of the trees.

It's only true for you, you can read, and take what hits you or speaks to you and also take what science says that hits home, me myself I take from both. But there still only of what I have chosen to accept in my own heart as any truth is.
I AM

No one her on earth can prove the existence of God.
Evolution has been proven.
I choose to believe in both.
