Do you have some sort of learning disorder that prevents you from retaining new information?
It's already been explained to you multiple times why you've mischaracterized what evolution states, and why empirically testable theories repeatedly verified by observation do not require "faith".
You seem to have extreme difficulty grasping basic principles of science, such as the difference between an hypothesis and a theory, what empirically verifiable means, and even the concept of testability.
If it's not a learning disability, it seems you're simply so dishonest you ignore reasonable and well supported objections, and repeat your original claim back like a parrot.
That's referred to as intellectual dishonesty, and frowned upon greatly in all academic areas.
Ahh, the old ad hominem....
I love them.... in fact they are delicious! It tells me you cannot attack my argument so you have to resort to attacking me personally.
I will leave you with a word from Old Hitch himself:
“I always think it’s a sign of victory when they move on to the ad hominem“ - Christopher Hitchens

You do not know enough about the evidence to have an informed opinion.
Yea, I guess Barrow and Tipler and Craig need to sit under you old wise one and learn a thing or too as well.....right?

Believe whatever you wish. It doesn't bother any of us, really. But, please don't insult us by using religion to refute science and then scold us when we call you out on it.
You have a burden whenever you say something that you want to be taken as more than just your opinion.
I do not attempt to refute science. I like science. I just do not worship it as a god and kneel before the men who speak on behalf of it.
