Not sure why the OP decided to copy paste a diatribe about a topic he doesn't understand.
Can only assume he temporarily lost his senses. Love atheistforums.org? Consider becoming a patreon and helping towards our server costs.

It's what he does - stop by every now and then to drop a turd in the swimming pool, quaff all the booze, and then bail before the cops show up. RE: Is Evolution a science or a faith?

If his intent was to have atheists explain that evolution is a science, or have atheists cast insults, sure. If his intent was to change someone's mind? Not so sure.

We can only hope those idiots are suffering of temporary dementia. And I am the pessimistic one.
All he is trying to achieve is to justify his faith by saying it's OK to have faith, we all do it, and that we shouldn't split hairs over the contents of our respective faiths.
The reason I know they're delusional is because they cannot and won't accept 2 simple premises. 1) That there is the minutest possibility that "god" may not exist. 2) That they don't need to prove "god" to us using science and logic.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
I've always wondered why anyone would argue that they were at least -as right- as someone who they thought -was wrong-.
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 the OP: I take it on faith that what can be repeated in the lab and which has been peer reviewed in science journals is provisionally the best we can do where empirical questions are concerned. So I'm going to go way out on a limb and accept science -including evolution- on faith over what ever any holy book may be interpreted as saying to the contrary. That's just the way I roll.
How hard it must be to be a Christian trying to live out a life of make believe when reality keeps knocking on the door. No wonder they have a persecution complex; science and reason keep showing up uninvited to their tea party.
