    There is faith in evolution. Evolution is historical or origins science. It takes as much faith to believe that man came from primordial sludge than to believe that man was created in the image of God.......maybe more.

    There is plenty of scientific evidence to support the theory of evolution. There is none to support biblical creation stories.

    I just said science is based on evidence-based belief. You’re just looking for reasons to nitpick as per usual and as per usual...failing...
    I find your lack of faith...disturbing...

    Nope. It takes a theory that’s backed by evidence. That is all.

    Actually you said "Discounting the vast differences in those belief systems is categorically disingenuous." So live with it.

    Biblical stories try to explain good and evil and morals. Science is neutral, or supposed to be, on those.

    OBSERVATIONAL science....which is TRUE Science. What you want us to believe is ORIGINS science or Historical science. That is pure guesswork and fantasy.
