Faith is unavoidable. It's a precondition for knowledge. We can opt for the type of faith that strikes us as most rational.
What irks me is the common, casual dismissal of ideas which don't fit the completely materialistic paradigm, when science simply can't explain the origin of life.
Science can't explain the origin of life? I'd say "hasn't yet managed to" explain the origin of life.
You can't (shouldn't) keep your faith based solely on a god-of-the-gaps.
