Creationism does require faith, but there is also substantial proof to its authenticity. For instance, the Bible.

[Creationism does require faith, but there is also substantial proof to its authenticity.]
If you have proof, why do you need faith?
[...For instance, the Bible.]
So your proof is the Bible...the same document that says that insects have 4 legs, and that a global flood occurred without leaving a trace of its passing?
"Creationism does require faith, but there is also substantial proof to its authenticity. For instance, the Bible."
The Babble wouldn't be taken as "proof" if it said the sky was blue. There's more to evidence, particularly scientific evidence, than just "some guy who's smart/old/wise/really, really dead/a shady huckster/etc said it so it must be true!"
Try gathering together some real evidence and presenting it.
The term 'for instance' tends to refer to there being more than one example available. Which you do not have.
Here's one of the argument styles you creationist can't seem to grasp: When we are talking about the validity of evolution, we don't often site Darwin's papers. There are simply too many real world examples of evolution to have to refer back to the original text. Please, please, pretty please stop referring to the bible as a 'proof'. It's not mathematics, you are not proving anything by believing the bible.
Holy crap. Literally. How the hell do you get the gall to call the Bible "substantial proof"? Do you think that you would call the source of any other religion's doctrine, whether it be the Book of Mormon, the Koran, the Upanishads, or Dianetics, as any form of proof at all for the claims of their respective religion...given that the claims that you are attempting to verify originate almost entirely within those very books?
Go and spin elsewhere.
I have a challenge for Creationists:
If they can show me a Creationist can hold an argument about God using concrete proof and without using the Bible, I'll show them an Evolution supporter who uses concrete proof and does not use Darwin's "Creation of the Species."
Creationism has as much "substantial proof" as does the existence of Balrogs; a collection of books.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
