You're trying to compare two completely different things.
The education system that relies on science has tons of evidence behind it.
From Newtonian physics, to chemistry, to quantum mechanics, to biology, to engineering, etc, etc. They all paint a coherent picture. One that requires no god. One where no god is apparent.
Why should a god be inserted where none has shown to be?

Maybe you prefer a simple video? (haha.. can't get to the end... need to register... too bad)

Weren't we dealing with abiogenesis?
Human bodies did not show up immediately after self-replicating biological molecules stepped into the picture. Why would you expect those original AAs to produce the exact proteins we have nowadays?
And yes, it will always be speculation. Even if we manage, in the lab, to go from simple molecules CO2, O2, H2, H2O, etc, to AAs, to proteins, to a self replicating entity... we will have demonstrated that the process is possible, but not that this lab-based mechanism is the one that actually happened.
So people like you will always have some wiggle room. Have fun.
