There's an obvious gap between science/fact and religious belief. It's one I've grappled with personally. You either believe or you don't. There is little sense in debating details with someone who is a fervent believer in their faith. You will rarely see their point of view and they will rarely see yours. It's my opinion that no one is actually right or wrong, they just have a different view of things and I leave it at that.
I have friends that are very religious, I am not, and we generally have very thoughtful discussions about religion, mostly because I have an open mind. I always question, not because I'm trying to be difficult or insulting, but because I'm trying to get a better understanding of why their faith is so strong, yet mine waivers. I'll stop here before I hijack the thread.
The bottom line is, you should never question someone's beliefs, you should only listen to what they have to say and either walk away or create dialogue that helps you understand their viewpoint.
