That seems a strange thing to say......
Faith
is of course personal, but that doesn't necessarily make the thing you have faith in correct. With two differing viewpoints' one, or both of you really has to be wrong......and to keep up the belief that each of you has an equally valid point of view is bizarre.
If you and Chris were colourblind and really believed that the sky is green and purple respectively (because you each felt the bible told you so), your faith in what you think the colour of the sky is would be misplaced.

That doesn't mean that there were only twelve people to begin with. There could have been twelve thousand at that time, it's just that all of us are decended from twelve of those; the rest of the genetic lines didn't make it to the present day......
