At this point it seems that the problem we are having is not based on evolutionary theory and/or creationism in whatever guise they present themselves. We seem to be honing in on the term belief.
Evolution is not part of my belief system any more than the rising and setting of the sun are part of it. Those things are simply observable phenomena; I look at the body of knowledge and accept it as having proven its point. It is the best explanation we have now and, true to its nature, can be augmented and modified as new evidence is discovered and integrated. There is no need to worship, prostrate, mouth incantations of magical nature and believe against all rational thought something that I cannot see, hear, touch, or otherwise experience (without the help of drugs or otherwise altered states of consciousness).
There is no need to build some arcane belief system around the facts since they are in evidence. Evolution is a scientific theory with the date that makes it such. And yes, I believe that this is a theory based on existing data, but I need not believe that I n the same sense as I would have to believe that some deity exists that has, in a moment of boredom, decided that it would be fun to mess around on one planet andjust because he/she/it was in need of self-affirmation and an ego boostcreated living organisms. Or maybe there were a few such beings out there that wanted to compete with each other and did pretty much the same thing for their amusement and such.
That kind of thinking needs people with the ability to believe that such a scenario makes sense, the results of a rigorous application of scientific methodology and careful analysis does not.
Are we then arguing about the term believe as stated in the original post as if evolution were just another religious tradition and therefore need acolytes who simply treat science as yet one more of such traditions?
