Time for a new thread
What I disagree with is irrelevant to this thread. LOL let me explain
I agree that perception of evidence is not faith based rather it be correct or incorrect; also agreed that science is based on evidence and not faith
I disagree with the ToE. (that is why i didn't say what I disagreed with, it wasn't relevant to the thread)
I'll repeat: unfortunately for you, what you disagree with has no influence on reality, just your ignorance (as in lack of knowledge, curable, or your refusal to learn, less curable): nature is remarkably unimpressed with your opinion.
This is not the first time you've said this, but you keep dropping from discussions because it is not on topic (or some other excuse).
Why not start a topic on why you disagree with ToE, and in the process provide (a) what you think it is and (b) why you disagree with it.
Otherwise you just appear to be one more creationist spouting assertions and avoiding evidence.
Note that most threads are closed when they reach 300 posts, so we can expect this one to be closed soon, and this would make it a good time to start a new thread to focus on YOUR view.
For the record: faith is based on a lack of evidence or it would not be faith, science is founded first on evidence, and as such can not be the same as faith. Where most people get confused is on the issue of the truth of theory.
In faith things are accepted as true because of belief, regardless of evidence. With faith you can believe falsehoods.
In theory things are presumed to be true so long as they are not invalidated, but it is always a tentative position, and that tentativeness is lacking in faith. In science once a concept is falsified it is discarded.
Enjoy.
