This constitutes blind faith. Faith without reflection of knowledge. Irrational belief.
Likewise with atheists. A plea to the lowest common denominator.
So, leaving out the lowest common denominator, how can you rationally justify disbelief in evolution while at the same time having enough belief to do things like drive your car or post messages to an electronic board via your computer?
Theists on this board get called out for cherry-picking from the bible all the time. It seems they like to cherry-pick science as well.
