sometimes what goes on between those who believe only what is proven and those who believe in religion is remarkable...

religious belief vs creationism or 'intelligent design' is nothing but some of those with little faith trying to rationalize their beliefs. this is absurd of course. in the New Testament, Paul said that faith is belief in things unseen, or to put is simply faith in things for which there is no material proof.

evolution is fact, but that shouldn't stop anyone who has faith and wants to believe in God

I'll remind you that it's still the theory of evolution, and granted, as I've said, some parts of it- natural selection for example- is perfectly valid and can be observed. But the day it becomes law- wake me and we'll talk.

It's not blind faith, anyway. Christians see God in everything, over time. Jesus said that all things in scripture (and life for that matter) point to Him. He's pretty obvious to us. You don't have to accept that, though, if you don't wish too.

It's kind of like being a bacterium on the shoe of a giant-- we see a sea of patent leather and miss the giant altogether. We are floating on a itny rock out int he middle of nowhere, you know. The universe is much bigger. And there is a spiritual (and larger) world out there as well. In fact, our universe is embedded in it.
