In answer to your question . . . the issue is the interventionary nature many people assign to God. When the only answer is "God did it," that doesn't actually provide any information. Many of those people are not getting four when adding two and two; many of them aren't even getting five or twenty-two. They're getting potato.

I agree that that maybe the phrase "God did it," may be over used. I also agree that it takes faith to believe that either:
1. The universe exploded from nothing (big bang) into something and that over time, random collisions of matter sprang forth life from non life, or
2. The universe was spoke into existence by a creator God and that life was created by that same God.
Either way, your bias has to start somewhere.
Is science faith based? Well, I guess it depends on how you judge your bias.
