In theology, "faith" means accepting a proposition that is not supported by verifiable evidence or logical proof.

Nope. The presence of the heavens and the earth is verifiable evidence. The presence of organized matter that performs specific functions on a scale beyond human capacity and invention is reasonable evidence from which to infer an almighty Creator. Those who dismiss such ideas do not argue from science, but from personal predilections which are also faith based. Faith rarely has no object.

Faith in a Creator, and in the idea that the Creator is responsible for bringing about and sustaining the physical universe, is not without verifiable evidence, but it is beyond the ability of science, let alone human reason, logically to prove.

The presence of organized matter that performs specific functions exhibits certain properties and is influenced by certain fundamental forces on a scale beyond human capacity and invention is reasonable evidence from which all Fester's fervent imagination needs to infer an almighty Creator.

Fixed it for you. It wasn't easy.
