And to answer your question, yes I do believe in God. I have a rather convoluted series of Judaeo-Christian beliefs which I'll go into another day.
First off, Judaeo-Christians are awesome.
Anyways, I believe in God. More then that, I believe I'm a Son of God and that we all have an eternal heritage. To ask me not to believe would be impossible because the threads of the gospel are so interwoven in my life that to take those away would unravel everything into nothing. To me, it's not religion, it's just a fact of life. But despite that, I think we all have freedom to view life how we will.
I don't know why it has to be God versus Science. Everybody seems to think that the manifestation of science disproves God, but when you realize the probability of life forms forming by themselves and everything coming together in a productive environment as it has, it's difficult not to consider some kind of intelligent design.
(BTW: Intelligent Design is NOT carry the same definition as God. Intelligent Design IS NOT God. Rather, God is an Intelligent Designer. Everyone here should watch "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" Really good documentary on the subject, very interesting. Has Ben Stein in it. Seriously, check it out.)
