Is Evolution a Religion?

I was wondering if others view evolution as a religion as I do. I hear it all the time about how evolution is based on science/facts. I agree, the evolution theory does contain SOME facts , as does a lot of ideas/beliefs, scientific in nature or not. The real question about evolution is whether these observational facts made in the present are sufficient for ones to put complete faith in its set of beliefs, i.e. religion. If a belief contains or is based on a series of facts, does that necessarily mean that the belief is completely true/factual? For example, the bible has a lot of facts. It contains historical and scientific facts. Yet that doesn't necessarily prove that the whole bible as a whole is a fact, right? It's mostly religious in nature. Evolutionary philosophy is also based on a series of facts. Does that mean that evolution happened/is a fact? No, its a religious viewpoint that is formed/based on the facts that are observed. True science uses the scientific method, not speculation molded by a biased viewpoint. Thus no part of the evolutionary process, such as how it happened, can ever be erted as a fact. The fossils exist, that's a fact. DNA of creatures are similar in nature, that's a fact. Forelimb structure, again a fact that they are similar. Science ends at this point. Its now up to people to conclude what this evidence suggests. Evolutionists feel it fits their model of common decent. Ones who believe in creation believe this fits their model of common design. So, the argument of science vs religion is totally inaccurate. Its religion vs religion. Its the science of one religion vs the science of another religion. Creation along with evolution contain "miracles", things that are naturally impossible, its just that evolution doesn't want to admit it. I feel that there are myriads of observational evidence implying creation. Evolution doesn't even compare in my opinion. The scarce interpretable facts ociated with evolution aren't enough to change my commonsense viewpoint that things don't/cant make themselves. What's your take on what you see in the world?
