God isn't a book of stories. What you are referring to is an ancient book written by humans, and they refer to a God in a creation myth. That is not evidence. You misrepresent the facts in your claim here. The stories is what ancient people said, not any god. .
The stories are what I believe and most people can understand that. I wasn't using it as evidence.
I would argue that theists in these creationism debates are not using reason, thus no rational approach to these issues. They have a vested interest in finding utility for their religious beliefs which have become less and less relevant over time.
If religious beliefs have become less relevant partly because of speculation and flawed thinking by science which some people like to say is scientific truth then maybe those who say science has it all right are not being rational.
I don't mind having a faith to justify but some people want to say that I oppose science when really all I am doing to opposing what some people call the truth (which is derived from scientific ideas) and they are using religious type faith to do that.
