Just because the knowledge of "physics, chemistry, genetics and the

You do know that the fossil record, field observations, and experiments (e.g.
with fruit flies), tend to bear out evolution, the changes in morphology and
species due to alterations in the genetic code due to various factors
(mutation, genetic drift, genetic recombination, natural selection, and
unnatural selection [i.e. human selection].

No they bear out adaptation (what is called "microevolution"). It's a huge
jump between adaptation and evolution proper (what's now often called
"macroevolution").

And this doesn't even attempt to explain how life originated from non-life.
If you don't start from there, the Evolution Faith explains nothing at all.

This stuff isn't incompatible with a god, by the way.

I don't reject evolution because it is incompatible with God. I reject it
because it's stupid. It's a theory not supported by evidence — it's faith
based.

"He" could have planned it that way!  :-D

But we have no need for that hypothesis.

You have a need to explain how life originated from non-life. Or you have no
explanation at all.
