No you are not the only one Aidan. For me it is science's power to make predictions that is astonishing, whether or not they are mathematical. I think the reason that evolution is so destructive of a faith in an intelligent creator is the strength of its predictions.
There are some cliffs near where I grew up.
If you know about the theory of evoluation you know that you won't find a fossil rabbit in these cliffs, even though there are thousands of them hopping about on top of the cliffs. Every year the sea erodes the cliffs and reveals the rock that has never been seen before by another human. And it never brings to light anything contradictory to the laws of evolution. No religion comes anywhere near making such accurate predictions.
The fact is that science works. And it works whether or not you believe in it.
