Faith is when you believe humans will someday discover the origins of and learn to create matter. Science has all but proved the process that is evolution but it seems unreasonable to think that matter was just always here and the 109 base units were not designed intelligently when you consider the universe and everything in it is made from 109 base units.
Where did the elements come from?
I agree with you. God designed the universe and its laws so that it would eventually produce a being that could know Him and love Him. To believe otherwise takes at least as much faith, if not more, IMHO.
But this belief is NOT what is commonly known as "intelligent design," which is really an abuse of language. Hey, there's another thing I can say about "intelligent design!" Bad science, bad philosophy, bad theology, and bad philology.
