That's really the whole point here, yet both sides seem to love to speak in absolutes.
"THIS is how it happened"
"No, THIS is how it happened"
"NO, we evolved THIS way"
If you can't prove it, it is a belief. A theory. Both the scientific and religious doctrines leave gaps that people choose to believe in. Both sides need faith to uphold their story of "how it all happened."

Yes you do. You believe their is no God, for one. You also said earlier you believe we evolve as time goes on... that too is a belief. You believe at least in part in the theory of evolution but as you said you are uncertain about the rest of it. Still constitutes a belief.

Those who believe in the "nothingness" theory for another example, that when we die that's it, nothing, we're gone forever... all have that as a belief since it remains unproven. They seem to all have complete faith in that belief, a quite strong one in fact in most who proclaim it as absolute truth.
In other words both sides have more in common than anyone cares to let on. :D
