Please elaborate on this tidbit.

Do not misunderstand. I am not saying paleontology is false. I am saying that evolutionary thought uses the findings from paleontology to back up their claims. Just like paleontology uses geology's findings for dating their finds with the various geologic strata the fossils are found in etc. Science is interrelated disciplines and if you introduce one false premise then it can affect the findings in other fields.

Another way to illustrate this as being forced on people is you are given two options, A. Evolution or B. God. The person who does not agree with religion is forced to go option A even if that isnt exactly the best idea. Now we have a bunch of religion hating people who choose to believe in option A because its the only alternative left to them and they have to confirm this or they feel that they would have to realign with option B. Confirmation bias is introduced.

I am not saying that there are only two choices. I am saying that the evolution debate is presented that way. It is a logical fallacy of false dichotomy.

I can't believe people seriously argue with Naez. Why not go start a dialogue with some crazy homeless person.

It's useful for me in the same way target practice is useful for the marksman.

Faith has nothing to do with religion. As you say, it amounts to trust.

And, from a philosophical standpoint, science can prove nothing. Only mathematics and logic, and their derivatives, can be "proven," if you're talking about the scientific jargon rather than the legal jargon definition of the word "proven."
