Do you think using a cell phone or a computer is a matter of faith?

I agree that complex and abstract ideas such as the big bang seem like leaps of faith because most people don't understand cosmic radiation, red shift, or other evidence behind the idea. To most people it "just sounds crazy" but it was an idea that is based on the same fundamental principles that led to your cell phone, computer, or any other invention of science.
It takes faith to believe that prokaryotic cells evolved into eukaryotes millions of years ago.

Science is not the dismissal of faith. Science is our grasp of knowledge to the world around us. Don't confuse the two because science requires a certain level of faith and faith requires a certain amount of science.
