Blind Faith

For the sake of staying on topic in the other thread, I decided to post this here.

I am agnostic, so I'm not a Christian trying to prove him/her wrong...but to say that the earth is an anomaly... A random and chaotic place with just a coicidental (is that even a word? I think I made it up..) sense of order... I feel like that would require even more blind faith than that of a theist.. What do you guys think? Which requires more faith?

Theism by definition. What you describe as atheism would be better called a scientific mindset, and with such a mindset you're only called upon to accept things for which the evidence is strong. That's the opposite of blind faith.
