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.
You misunderstand the word theory when applied to science, you do realize that gravity is a theory right?
Theory as used in every day language is the definition you are applying in this case, however when talking about a scientific theory it is totally different. A scientific theory is the culmination of all the data that supports a hypothesis. i.e. I hypothesize that matter is drawn to other matter through gravity. Then through experimentation and observation we now have Gravitational Theory. Big difference.
