You also talk about faith vs science. You need to realize that believing in evolution requires a lot more faith than creation. With creation, there is one event after which anything is possible. With evolution, you must believe in trillions upon trillions upon trillions of events, over unimaginable periods of time, all unguided, uncontrolled, with the end result being the perfect order in nature we see today.
While it may seem I am here to pick fights and argue, I am genuinely interested in everyone's choice of evidence that backs up their belief. While there are a lot of scoffers, very few have given something worthwhile.

One doesn't 'believe' in science, one understands it. No faith required. You don't seem to get that point, which is why you have so much difficulty accepting the conclusions of it.
Again, there it is a false equivalency to debate creation versus evolution. One conceptualizes the beginning of life, the other it's development over time.
