Faith doesn't need evidence, as we've long since established. I accept the parts of science which fit in with my views and beliefs.
Some of you seem to think we regard the Bible as the complete and unabridged history of the world - not so. I believe God put in the bible all we
need to know - man went and tried to work out what we
wanted to know. God gave humans the gift of intelligence and we've tried to use it to explain how things are. In many ways we're successful, in others not so.
You say about 'how we evolved'. Quite simply, we didn't. There's no evidence we came from apes. Admittedly there's a compelling argument, but there's always the good old 'missing link' which I jokingly refer to as the 'non-existent link'. Not seen it in a while but there's a site which gives a good argument against the notion of human evolution from primates, will try and find it later.
Anyway I am willing to accept there is more to science than we will ever understand or are capable of understanding. Science doesn't know everything, that's not to say science knows nothing, but it's important to differentiate between what science knows and what it believes.
