Evolution means different things to different people. Besides genetics and natural selection (which are provable), we have creation theories which is where the schism has divided the two main groups. God (The Creator) can only be believed in by faith, not science. Science may provide statistical odds of His existence but that’s all.

Science can prove that the systems we have for natural selection, etc follow a programmed course. Science may never be able to prove who created that system.

For most evolutionists, faith is placed in the scientific textbooks they have either read or others who have studied them and their rational arguments.

Much the same may be said of those who have faith in religion, but thinking through faith in Christ is a different system having rewards directly given by God to the believer.

Science is unable to give spiritual gifts. Nor does science love its own. Science is merely an application of reason to a material world advancing ideas to advocate laws of the Creation, without ever accepting the existence of their ultimate source.

While science may provide many pragmatic solutions for daily mediate cause, it is woefully inadequate in explaining the entire spiritual domain, its persons, and consequences of rejecting it.

It is possible to study and apply science through faith in Christ, but substituting science as a counterfeit for God as the object of our faith is ignorant.
