Science is a discipline of observation, hypothesis construction, testing, modification of hypothesis with the prospect of developing sufficient support or refutation of a theory.

Let me know how that works out for evolution. Until then, I guess we'll just have to accept it by faith.

"Science is a discipline of observation, hypothesis construction, testing, modification of hypothesis with the prospect of developing sufficient support or refutation of a theory.

Actually, it's workd out pretty well:

Observation - we see, for example, various fossils trapped in stone. Looking closer, we notice that the simplest (one-cell) fossils are always on the bottom, with increasingly more complex creatures as you go higher up the layers. The age of each layer also decreases as you go up...

And then using the brains that GOD GAVE US, it's not a stretch to suppose that life may have evolved from the simple to the complex. Good old common sense (God gave us that too).

Sure beats the magic "bing, it's there" proposal.
