Is 'faith' really a 'great cop-out'?

[Darwinian]

The only thing that drives these processes to occur is the fact that they help the organism to pass it's genes on to the next generation.

There have been billions of 'processes' that were very unsuccessful but we don't see those as they never survived.

So all you see today is the culmination of billions of little mutations that have, in some way, allowed an organism to survive. It's very tempting too see this as being designed or to be part of a plan but in reality it is simply the product of evolution over eons of time. You never see the mistakes only the successes!
