I love this article.
It is very well written! You have completely summed up my thoughts on religion. I have never followed a religion, but I am open to the idea of god.
I don't like to believe and have faith in anything other than myself (and even thats difficult enough at times) but scientifically thinking, I think it is completely possible that a god may exist (and until disproved, it is a viable theory). I think there is room for science and god/s (not religion) to fit together. Sometimes I like to think that god may be responsible for the creation of the universe (the big bang), and nature took things from there (the creation of our solar system, Earth, evolution etc...). However, that does not explain how god was created. God must have come from somewhere! It's completely mindboggling to think about these things, but as a scientist, I enjoy asking questions such as "just how did it all begin?".
