Faith is not based on logic. The whole point of logic is ELIMINATING as many assumptions as possible. When you say that you begin your logic with the assumption of God, you have eliminated logic from the process before you even begin.

Faith is an extension of logic. So it IS based on logic. If a theology is logically wrong, then it can not generate a reasonable faith.

Those are the ones fooled by the first group, by not believing
that God is smarter than scientists.

Creationists are the ones who think they are smarter than God. They think they can tell God how God created instead of looking at the Creation itself.

Why wouldn't they?

There is absolutely no reason that creationism should always produce a nested hierarchy. Ever.

God isn't limited to one type or another.

Then why are you saying that God would be limited to a nested hierarchy?

He made nearly infinite variety in nature, both in form and in
function.

False. The variety of life is strictly limited to a nested hierarchy.

So, just to be clear, there's no reason why this would apply to creationism, it has to apply for evolution to make any sense, the odds of it happening by chance or without it being necessary are extremely slim... But God created it that way anyways.

Why would He do that, though? Wouldn't he know that this would mislead a lot of people, and that this could easily be avoided by simply not creating animals with such a dual-nested heirarchy?

It's like a defense attorney arguing that God came into the room and made a little swirly pattern of oil that just coincidentally matches the ridges found on his client's fingertips.

The journals contain verifiable facts. You can check every piece if data if you wish. The same can not be said of the claims made in the Bible.

Actually, the bible has a better track record.

"A number of empirical studies show that 80-90% of the claims coming from supposedly scientific studies in major journals fail to replicate."

That is the top journals. It goes downhill from there.

It can only mislead if you're looking the wrong way.

More like a signature saying "God was here" in DNA that
most scientists try to ignore.

Creationism was thoroughly refuted 150 years ago.

"A number of empirical studies show that 80-90% of the claims coming from supposedly scientific studies in major journals fail to replicate."

Of the papers I have presented, how many have been shown to be false?

It's kind of hard to spell that with just four letters. Even the amino acid code lacks an O. No U either, so Vishnu must not be real. Allah, however, can be spelled out in amino acids.
