Great post. Probably won't do a darn bit of good in terms of convincing anyone of anything, but it was a good read :-)

Good Post. I'm a believer in Evolution. Evolution indeed explains much of the complexity in biological forms, and perhaps more than we can imagine. What evolution doesn't explain is the spark of life. Perhaps life will be created in a lab someday, as suggested. So far, all primordial ooze mixtures we may have assembled, simply remain dead. So if there is an understanding of the spark of life within all that's been observed by the scientific study of life, it has yet to bear fruit. If some day we succeed in causing life to spring up out of thoroughly dead materials assembled, then perhaps many would say the case for a living god is dying quickly, indeed (and I might agree!).

I believe in a god, a higher power, if you will. It is logical, IMO. Nothing more religious than that do I believe. I can only guess that we will never cause life to spring forth from dead ooze in a laboratory. I guess that leaves me as a skeptic who believes in a higher power (and doesn't that seem odd?). I'm pretty sure of myself, but must admit it's only a hunch.
