Christianity and science are opposites.*
Christianity is truth therefore science must be falsehood.
While the data collected by scientists may be of some value, the conclusions they reach fall into the realm of pure speculation aka theory.
*Of course some Christians switch back and forward so fast that they become very confused. Their arguments are unintelligible.*
That is a bad thing.
However, it is amply compensated for by those who remain in scientific mode and thus are confused all the time.
*Faith is about believing something specifically where there is no evidence or proof.*
Faith IS the evidence.
*The only way to establish and know a truth is specifically by finding evidence and proof.*
Doing it that way merely convinces you that you have found a truth.
In actual fact, you have no way of knowing whether your discovered 'truth" is true or not, and it is very difficult for you to change your mind since you have just thoroughly convinced yourself.
*If faith finds a truth, it will be by accident, and it won't know that what it has found is truth.*
Completely backwards.
First you find the truth, then you believe it.
If you believe something that isn't true, you are operating in delusion, not faith.
Your statement is correct if you replace "faith" by "science," though, since science never knows anything, as you and others have repeatedly stated.

As I see it, atheists (at least as I see atheism) have a clear advantage in their clarity of sight simply because they do not accept anything as given or implied and instead try to find the answers through science, through reason and investigation.*
Sounds like a brilliant plan until one questions your reason.
At what point have you established whether your reason is valid or completely delusional?
Saying that you have found others who think the same way you do does not establish that you are correct; it merely establishes that you may have found others who are equally delusional.

However, it's when they say "God made the universe, case closed" that their neat science structure breaks down into religious propeganda.*
Propaganda is only propaganda if it is false.

So you'd have to have something that hid, erased, and confounded about stuff that is measurable in order to have the opposite.*
That is science.
Just see what scientists do when the data directly contradicts their pet theories.

They even like to think God will heal people when they are sick as I watch every religion bury it's members from many different Illnesses.*
You're watching ALL religions, so it's hard to pick out the believers from non-believers.
The believers don't get sick.
*The truth of the matter is the Bible the very book they claim is the word of God is what has caused most wars on this planet.*
???
I had no idea that Genghis Khan had a Bible.
I had no idea that the various African tribes thousands of years ago had a Bible.
Which side in the Punic Wars had a Bible?
etc.

As for the word "day" in the Genesis account. Even the old pre-Christian Jewish scholars didn't believe that the Hebrew word meant a literal day.*
Some people see the "evening" and "morning" thing.
*As for people being healed, even when the Bible records Jesus healing all sorts of people who came to him, there were people he chose not to heal.*
Here's how he chooses...
... According to your faith be it unto you.
(Matthew 9:29, KJV).
