Religion vs. Faith

Why must this always boil down to a religion vs. faith argument?

I have faith that God created all of us, all of the creatures of the earth, everything with the genes that they needed. I didn't need my religion (my church, if you will) to teach me how or why He did it this way to believe it.

Why? Because He is -GOD-

You have faith that genes mutated to bring us where we are today (of course after something else somewhere along the way mutated to create genes, etc., etc.). Your religion (your schools, if you will) teaches you how, why, when, and then explains away all of the gaps in their theories with "we know it happened because it's here" reasoning so that you will believe it.

Why? Because deep down you need an explaination for why God isn't in control (at least that's what you want to believe, right?)

A teacher told her class that God doesn't exist because none of the five senses can detect him.

A little girl in the class asked, "Teacher, have you touched, felt, smelled, tasted, or heard your brain?"

The teacher responds, "Of course not."

"Well then," the little girl says, "I guess you have no brain."
