Unlike you, I do not accept the findings of science on faith. I accept them because I have a technical background and have employed the scientific method in my career. Science works. Deal with it!
I agree that science works. It has brought us many useful, amazing things. I've already told you my criteria for believing evol in that specific respect and I don't lack faith in the scientific method. It is the people I lack faith in. People tend to be selfish and self aggrandizing and I'm not going to pretend to have complete faith in them to appease anyone.
The great thing about science is it works whether you believe in it or not. If all scientific knowledge was destroyed it stands a good chance of being recreated exactly the same.
With religions it is the opposite. If all Christians, muslims, Mormons or whatever and their texts disappeared there would be zero chance of them being re-created.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
