"Einstein did believe that an intellect was at the root of the order that he found in the universe."

He didn't believe in a theistic God; his *God* was best described as the laws of nature.

"There are many scientists who think the same way, including some I have spoken to personally."

I once spoke to a man who thought that the CIA was developing a new drug that would enslave all the *darkies*, as he put it.

". I don't see why a backing away from an ultimate creator is so necessary when men debate science. "

God is an untestable claim; science doesn't deal in untestable claims.

"Things evolve and that could be because God created them that way."

Absolutely. That's what most people who accept evolution feel.

"The albino rat we used to have at university was a mutant, but ultimately a creation of God even with the mutation."

We are all mutants. Everybody has a mutation.

Many evolutionists, feel there is a natural explanation for the universe without the need for any kind of intelligent force initiating it.

I once met a man who thought that the universe just happened. Maybe he was the same guy you met who thought "the CIA was developing a new drug that would enslave all the *darkies*, as he put it."
