Is it all science that you relegate to a belief system, or just the ones that support biological evolution?
If medical science is a belief system aren't you just as well off sitting at home with a broken leg and praying over it as you are visiting an emergency room? If a loved one contracts a life threatening illness are you simply going to pray for divine intervention?
Do you believe that computer scientists prayed over a block of silicon to receive enlightenment regarding computational complexity theory? Or is it more reasonable to assume that they arrived at a theory using the tools of science?
It exasperates me to no end that a person will decry evolutionary theory one moment and the next show up for an injection to protect themselves from the latest evolutionary form of a flu virus.

What exactly are you going on about? Why would I practice faith healing? Anyone with half a mind knows it not true. The best you will ever get is a placebo effect. Medicine was practiced long before the theory of evolution was canonized, so I'm not sure why I would be required to believe in evolution to receive medical treatment. By the way you know Luke was a physician right? Meaning a doctor. Science is not confined to evolution any more than its confined to the bible. If you can't see that then it only reinforces the fact that it is a religion. People were practicing science and medicine, curing diseases and practicing medicine long before Charles or Erasmus Darwin were ever even born. Evolution is not the end all be all of scientific endeavor or thought.
