Evolution is not faith based. It is the basis for modern biology.

Creationism, on the other hand, involves the supernatural and requires a tremendous amount of faith on the ancient scriptures.

Evolution is a theory. The lineage of single cell to man is not a solid line. Evolution does occur. That is an observable fact. That still does not prove that man evolved by the theory of evolution. Therefore, anyone who believes in the theory is merely accepting it on faith.

Evolution refers to man's body.............. Creation refers to man's soul.

Is it possible both sides are right ?

I have faith in the scientific method. Do you?

Evolution, as a theory of creation by random events is absolutely faith based. To assumption of either random, or ordered design, are both leaps of faith. In the end evolution is just as inductive as ID.

"Evolution is not faith based. It is the basis for modern biology."

Evolution in the sense you mean is to biology what history is to science. What exactly has evolution contributed to biology?

Let's cut to the chase, genetic mutation on the cellular level gives us science going forward. Next?

Take this analogy

Man::computer

Force::life

Man has never made a living organism from something non-living and yet we desire to say a non-living force brought about life. How convoluted is that. Only mature life can reproduce. You cannot have larvae without a male and a female fly. And why is there a male and a female? Seems like we could easily through evolution just have one gender.
