"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Neither.

Harris is a base chucklefuck.

Not even an elevated chucklefuck.

Evolution is a fact, just ask any creationist in the hospital dying from an infection caused by an EVOLVED pathogen.

"Evolved pathogen" my ass. God cursed every single one of those poor fuckers.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

RE: Is Evolution a science or a faith?
The problem with evolution is it isn't a thing. It's a way of interpretating the changes in properties of similar things over time. It's kind of like asking if rainbows are scientific-- there's red--there's blue-- but there's no arbitrary point at which you can say, "See, red has changed into blue."

However, denying evolution is kind of like denying that the samples on a CD represent analog sound. They are a DESCRIPTION of the sound, and the science that goes into reading and writing CDs, making new agorithms for encoding and decoding represented waves, etc., is fine.

As for the "evolution has never been observed" trope:

So much wrong in one post it is hard to know where to begin.
I will just start with the notions that atheists feel threatened when intelligent design is brought up.
What we tend to feel is annoyed at that tripe being trotted out all the time.

Humiliation? The word you are looking for is annoyed. Annoyed in the same manner as an adult confronted by a four year old's reason for staying up late to watch R rated movies while gorging on ice cream and coffee.
