&gt; We do see new species evolve every day. We also see microevolution so commonly that it&#x27;s a standard high-school biology task.<p>Can you describe?<p>My memory of high school genetics involved experiments with Drosophila eye color, etc. which were really about the passing of genes and, sometimes, mutation. However these experiments didn&#x27;t prove that natural selection or seemingly random mutation were necessarily what drove species to change over time to create new species based on their environment. I had to accept that. I also accept that people tell me human and chimp DNA is similar.<p>Theoretical physicists also attempt to explain things that they cannot see or experience, and if people believe it, they believe it.<p>Science, in part, requires faith.<p>Think of everything you think you understand about science and about our world. How much of it did you really prove with your hands, and how much instead did you just read or hear and understand to be true because others wrote or said it was true?<p>You can put your faith in theories, and that has proved practical for many physicists and biologists, just to name a few. A god or gods could also be driving those evolutionary processes in part, or could have set things in motion. Accepting religion and scientific facts both require faith, and that&#x27;s ok.
