I haven't said anything that even implies I'm worried about science.

Yes I agree.  I've never said that the guesses inbedded in the theory of
evolution are incorrect.  I've just been trying to get people to recognize
that the theory of evolution includes *belief* in things that are unknown,
and that to believe in the unknown requires *faith*.  Its just not *faith*
in God.  Its *faith* in your guesses.

Evolution could be a tool used by God in the creation, that is correct.  We
just don't know for sure, and whether you believe in Evolution as God's
tool, or instant creation by God, or no God and only the 1 x 10 to the
millionth/billionth power chance that everything happened by accident and
chance to get us from no life to modern man it takes *faith* in something
to hold those beliefs.
