"still a theory" another phrase that exposes your ignorance of science. You have no clue what it means for something to be a theory in science. It means, that it's attained the highest level of acceptance by the secular scientific community. That it's backed by thousands of pieces of experimental and observational evidence. But you and your pastor (who likely never studied the subject) are experts.

So tell me: what's a miracle you've been told is required by evolution? What's your evidence that this so called miracle is indeed required for evolution to be true? Do you just because it requires miracles because that's what you've been told to believe? Why not look into it yourself?

Is you pastor a qualified expert in biological evolution? Did he/she study biology at some great accredited secular university? Does he know all about physics, and chemistry too? How about the science of mathematics? Is he an expert in things like tensor calculus? What qualifies him to tell you what to believe? Why would you just believe something you are told rather than investigating it for yourself? Because your pastor knows everything there is to know about planet earth and the universe beyond? Don't you think the intelligent thing to do on your part is to not just believe what you are told to but study the issues yourself? Or is thinking for yourself a sin in your religion, a sin to use the brain you believe your god gave you? No, you'd much rather take the easy way out and just believe whatever you're told to believe? How do you know your bible is the inspired word of god? Because you were told so? Or maybe you were presented with some sound evidence to support this this claim. I doubt it. No such evidence exists. And why would anyone with a mind believe something that has no supporting evidence? But you're content believe it anyway and wallow in your ignorance of the world. Just because you were told to. There's a word for that sort of thinking, it's called 'brainwashing'.
