...and this is different from evolution how...

Not to answer a query with a query, but are you stipulating that without evolution, as without gravity, we would be equally bereft of the chance to exist? A remarkable leap, I think, almost, one could say, a leap of faith...again, I ask you, how do you equate evolution and gravity as unassailable concepts?

Absolutely. Evolution is how we came to be thinking, perceptive beings. The scientific evidence for it is overwhelming.

Not a leap of faith. The leap of faith says that, despite all the evidence, we are decended from one man and one woman who were formed out of dust 4000 years ago, and from another man and woman who survived a flood that physics tell us could not have occurred. The fossil evidence from the past, combined with the richness and detail of the genomic evidence from the present, make the case for evolution so firm that only one motivated by some sort of irrational prejudice could deny it.
