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.
Gravity is a THEORY, as well as the germ THEORY of disease. Theory in science is not a guess. It is a scientific conclusion, a principle that fits and explains the facts. Creation myths do not fit the facts. When you think of the word "theory" in scientific context, think Music Theory.
You're admitting God's existence cannot be scientifically proven. Fine. Then quit trying to convince other people he's real. Faith is flawed thinking. Because faith cannot be tested empirically, anyone can make any claim they want and then invoke "faith" to "prove" it to themselves. This is nothing more a circular delusion where the conclusion is presented as proof of itself. Things are not true because you want them to be.
You have no evidence that any God exists. When you say "but look at the trees and the butterflies!" it does nothing to convince me. "God did it" is not the default conclusion for everything. It is an assertion. In order for an assertion to be true, direct emperical evidence must be supplied. All you have is your assertion.
