Ok, to clarify.

I believe that the process of evolution is sufficiently proven to be an accepted theory.

I believe that there is no evidence of any sort pointing to a first cause for creation.

I believe that there is no evidence for a first cause for evolution.

I believe that creation may have occured, but as with evolution, there is no evidence for a first cause.

I know that I exist, I know that I am the *queue Architect's office scene* the result of a series of both genetic responses to environmental factors over a long time of biological evolution as well as a progressive evolution of thinking over a long period of time as well.

That is the closest thing that anyone knows.

Faith is not knowledge, it is acceptance, it does not stand up to empiricism, it cannot do so by definition.

That doesn't make it wrong either. Just unprovable.

I accept that there is the possibility that Xtians are right, but I also assert that they are no more likely to be right than any other religion as they all turn on the same axis, faith.
