Spare me.

Science and faith both search for answers to the unknown, this is true, but they come at the search from opposite ends of the spectrum. Science works methodically toward a definitive answer for specific phenomena, throwing out worthless hypothesis after worthless hypothesis along the way, while faith posits an answer to all of the unknown and does everything it can to shoehorn that answer into fitting every phenomenon.

I have no doubt that an engineering degree was easy to reconcile with your faith. As a person who obtained an engineering degree myself, I can understand how that happened. But when you start to study the earth and life sciences and see the glaring contradictions between all the claims of faith and the current scientific evidence, it becomes much more difficult to perform that reconciliation.
