A man questioning the existence of God finds a fine guitar washed up on the beach. There are no brand names, or any inscriptions on it, but nevertheless he knows with certainty that it was made with great care by a skilled luthier somewhere. Of course he can't prove it, and has no idea who actually made it, but with all it's intricate parts and great detail, he has no doubt that it is handmade with purpose, as opposed to just some accidental conglomerate of seashells that function. The point here is obvious.

I find no problem in having a scientific viewpoint along with sprituality. Yet it's absurd when knowledge is resisted because it doesn't fit within the dogma of the day. Galileo shocked the church with his "theories" and paid with his life. Einstein believed in God. As always, all I'm preaching is "keep an open mind". In my mind big-bang, evolution, and any other theory that is heavily supported by evidence does not diminish the role of a creator and his ever fascinating, awesome creation.
