Interesting discussions

I had an interesting discussion with one of my teens today about evolution versus creation. She really wanted the fast answer, of which, of course, there is none. I asked her which she thought took more faith to believe.

Creation.

OK, how did we get the creation story?

I dunno.

We have it written in a book that has been used for at least 3 thousand years of human history, including the 3 biggest belief groups in the world, that was written by someone who was there, stating it happened around 5-6 thousand years ago, and was carried forward in oral-then-written form so accurately it has never been contradicted by archeology.

OK, and now how did we get the evolution story?

It was written by theorists over the last 200 years or so about things that, if true, would have to have happened billions and hundreds-of-millions of years ago. What actually happened and how it happened have been the subject of dynamic theorizing since the theory was developed in the 18th century.

Which believer has to have the greatest faith in his version of the beginning?

Ohhh.
