If you'd lose your faith, then your faith in Christianity seems on par with a YEC's faith, to me.
Let's stop for just a second if you will.
Look at two positions, A & B.
In both, there is a strongly held belief, a Faith, in some particular item or assertion.
In each case evidence is presented that refutes the item of Faith.
In the first of the two, when the new evidence is brought forward person A says "Yep, point taken. I will abandon that item of Faith."
In the second, when the new evidence is brought forward person B says "Nope, not convinced. If what you say is true then I would have to abandon my belief and I will not do that."
Are those two reactions equivalent?
The second issue has to do with definitions.
Christianity is based on a documented set of beliefs, with a minimal core set being contained in the Nicene Creed.
One possibly falsifiable part of the Nicene Creed is the claim that Jesus rose from the Dead. If it was somehow possible to prove that Jesus did not rise from the dead, then that would certainly falsify a strongly held belief and one of the defining items of Christianity.
The question then is "How would Christians address that issue?"
They could
- deny the evidence.
- revise the definition.
- abandon the belief.
Are there other options?
