Blind faith and evolution

[Silver]

i am talking about the principle of holding an idea as truth that is not proven, would you call that dogmatism?

The tendency to lay down principles as incontrovertibly true, without consideration of evidence or the opinions of others.

No, atheism is not dogmatism, for the simple reason that it is apparent theists have no evidence to support the existence of their deities. When one lacks verifiable evidence to support something, it is logical to deduce that it does not exist until such a time evidence can be provided to support its existence. The probability of a deity being proven to exist, after tens of thousands of years of human evolution where no deity has been proven to exist, is basically nil.

evolution and creation both attempt to explain our origin, neither have a provable rational answer.

Evolution is described as being a theory, but so is gravity. We know that if one jumps from a twenty story building that individual is going to be overtaken by gravity and fall to his death. Evolution is not invalidated just by its status of theory.

so then atheism has no idea about how life started?

The Big Bang caused by a singularity, which led to the creation of planet earth, which led to the eventual evolution of life from single celled organisms.
