Faith is what drives religion. And as for the photosynthesis, did you think God was just going to wave a magic wand everytime someone wanted to breathe? God had to make the planet self-sustaining, obviously to support human life. That is where science comes from, its an intelligent design.
Intelligent design is not science. The proponents of intelligent design have never submitted a peer review journal, and the idea of "irreducible complexity" is considered pseudoscience by the scientific community at large. Every example of Irreducible complexity proposed by Michael Behe has been explained using current evolutionary theory.
The definition of scientific theory is an explanation of scientific observations. A theory must have numerous experiments to support it, and scientists must be able to conduct experiments that fit in the theory. In science a theory must be based on facts and predictable observations. Nothing has proven either the Big Bang Theory or Evolutionary Theory, all observations that have been made to support said theory. No conclusive evidence has been shown to support intelligent design.
Blind faith shouldn't be the driving force behind your religion.
