drug development does not depends on one's faith in ToE. Drugs have to go though tests before they are release to the public

We're in an age of biochemical drugs. Protein based drugs are being designed and "grown" based on information derived from the theory of evolution. It's not faith in the theory of evolution that gets those drugs developed, but hard evidence based data derived from the theory of evolution.

And your analogy is yet again flawed. Did you read my previous post? Engineering is the application of science: Everything needs to be tested. A steam engine (or any engine) needs to be tested when one is designed and built to ensure it is stable and does explode. Yet the development is based on the theories and laws of physics. In drug development, the drugs are also tested to ensure safety, but they are developed based on theories and data from biology and chemistry. One of those theories is evolution.

You can't deny this as there are peer reviewed papers on the topic and it is essentially part of the work I've spent the last 3 yrs conducting.
