Preferring a scientific view, I am not religious, and have no desire to be.



That is my favorite quote that anybody who professes that there is no God uses. One thing that I've noticed is that the more scientific you tend to be in either hobby or profession, the more you tend to lean toward there being a Supreme Being.

One of my physics teachers in school was a member (leader) of at least one (I think two, but I don't remember for sure) Nobel Prize winning team for their work in Quantum Physics/Mechanics (discovering neutrinos or something). He said that the more you learn, the more you realize you don't know, and as you explore the creation of life and the universe, it becomes almost impossible to believe that there wasn't some form of external 'help' in creating it.
