Humans started 200 thousand years ago no 400 thousands years ago. We came from one organism now we came from many, believe scientists on the big bang and evolution but not on climate change and tailings ponds and it goes on and on.

How do I know I am currently not believing in a scientific study that is completely false. Maybe pictures or it didn't happen is the right way to go.

I need less faith believing in creation which I also do somewhat believe (when not taken literally)
Dude, this is WAAAAAY out to lunch.

You just outlined the EXACT reason why science takes less faith to belive in, and that's the fact that it can be reviewed and adapted as new information becomes available. Science recognizes that we don't have all the answers, and if in the search for those answers we find something that doesn't fit our current beliefs, then we have to modify them, and try to understand why we were wrong.

On the other hand creationism/young earth stories in particular are nothing but faith because they completely ignore anything that contradicts them, and simply hand wave any proof to the contrary.

Admitting you were wrong takes no faith at all, but ignoring piles of evidnece that proove you're wrong, is either a lot of faith, or complete ignorance.
