There's a difference between accepting something by faith and accepting that the professionals know what they're doing.
I can get on an airplane without knowing anything about aerodynamics. I
trust the pilot to know what he's doing and I trust the airline to only hire qualified pilots and I trust the government to only sanction safe airlines.
Similarly, I can trust that biologists and cosmologists know what they're talking about even if I don't understand what they're saying.
I
could take flying lessons to learn what the pilots know and I
could take the trouble to learn science too.
It strikes me as odd that creationists can scoff at evolution on a computer that was built using the same science. It's like trusting the pilot but thinking the mechanic who serviced the engines is an idiot.
