John,

"Science, of course, dismisses the question altogether as what exactly it is one is looking for in a 'Creator' is not clear."

I think the reason for this is because science has retained the conditioning that the "Creator" is that which created "everything". Still, I don't think that the question has been entirely dismissed by science; I am thinking of Arthur C. Clarke in particular. I think that it is more useful to consider what might have created "us", in the same way that we would consider what might have created the sun. In considering these questions, it is not proper to rule out the effect of some other "mind". But we should proceed on the basis of evidence. The benefit of discovering a "Creator" is the same as the benefit of any other (real, not supposed) knowledge.
