"You begin with the truth handed to you in a sacred book. You then look to make it fit the best you can to what is observed."
I'll throw that back at you. You look around and assume the answer for the origin of life is in what you see. You trust that scientists have no ulterior motive for promoting evolution. Even though evolution has no conclusive evidence, you accept it because there is no alternative. Having not been observed, tested or demonstrated groups it in the category of *weakest* theories, because many unproved theories have actually to an extent been observed, tested or demonstrated. An analogy would be a child looking at a pile of blocks. The child tries make sense of where the blocks came from only by looking at the blocks. The blocks must have made themselves, right? It never occurs to them that the parent put them there.
