Knowledge means knowing facts that are provable and reproducible. Faith means you hope something is true but you can't prove it because if you could, it would be knowledge and faith would not be required. Why should I believe anything on faith alone? One religious faith is just as likely to be true as any other, and since none of them has been proven, all of them are likely to be false. Also, I notice that many people of faith get touchy if their faith is questioned, and would rather their faith not be questioned. This is an anti knowledge position. Science is always questioning itself.

I agree with your definition of knowable.
Perhaps you can reproduce evolution for me. I've never actually seen it done. Can you please evolve a new species for me?

Fortunately substantial evidence exists that catalogues evolution at work. Can you say the same for creation?
In your own time...
But how do you know for sure that the 'transitional fossils' weren't originally created to be exactly the way that they were found and that they aren't in fact evidence of 'evolution'?

A chap once told me that dinosaurs didn't exist, and that God had put the bones in rocks to confuse mankind.
Charles Darwin pretty much proved evolution with his scientific observations especially when the HMS Beagle visited the isolated Galapagos Islands. If god created immutable humans starting with Adam and Eve, how did we end up with Negros, Caucasians, and Orientals? If these 3 groups staid isolated long enough, features would continue to evolve to the point that they would become 3 different species.

He proved it based on repeatable observation?
Are you going to hold to your original statement or are you a hypocrites?
