That's what's wrong - not accepting something on faith, but arguing with those who are going on more than just faith.

Well, you can as long as you admit that you're arguing from a position of faith ie a creationist christian trying to convince a scientist christian by appealing to their shared faith in the existence of God and the truth of the Bible. Of course if the person you're arguing with doesn't share your faith then you're reduced to "If you realised God existed you'd realise I'm right!"

But when they (a) pretend to be arguing based on scientific evidence or (b) Admit it's based on faith but think public policy should be based on faith, then I get narky.
