66. yes, it does have something to do with faith
it has everything to do with faith. He says he can separate his religious faith (that tells him the Earth is 10,000 years old) with his scientific work, which tells him the current physical evidence is different. This is no different from someone believing in God, while the physical evidence shows no sign of God.

no one has ever physically proven a miracle to a scientific standard, so are all scientists who believe in miracles therefore intellectually dishonest?

I don't understand where your idea of fraud comes from. He did research and wrote a thesis that met the standards of his institution. the fact that he may, or may not, emotionally believe in what he did and wrote does not equate to fraud. He never said that he thinks his thesis is not factual, only that the frame of reference it was written from is not the entire picture.
