Poe, I've seen so much evidence that it would actually take MORE faith for me to believe that there is no God and that we all evolved from nothing than to believe that God is real, that he cares for me, and that he created life as we know it. 

Granted, everyone has had their own experiences, but there was a period in my life where I literally dedicated years to examining the scientific aspects of this issue.  Macro evolution simply does not exist.  Every recent scientific discovery in favor of the Darwinian theory has been either been manipulated after the fact or has been "discovered" using highly unreliable methods (radio-carbon dating anyone?).  And the scientific aspect doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of reality!  The spiritual side of things is quite incredible in it of itself. 

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

I'm not saying that there aren't things that point to a God. Part of the reason I believe in God is because logically it makes more sense to me based on chemistry and physics. I'm just saying there will never be a "Yes, this completely proves the existence of God - hands down - no discussion" moment in time. At least I don't believe there will be. I also don't believe there will ever be a moment in time where someone 100% disproves a God, either. Faith plays a huge part in believing.
I would also have to have more faith to believe in no God than a God. I feel the exact same way about what you and Quake said.
We haven't even skimmed the surface of understanding humanity and... well, existence. Science is constantly evolving as time passes by. I doubt we will ever know the entire in's and out's of the human mind or nature or the universe.

actually, if aliens were proven to exist, I wouldn't have any chance of ever believing in god. That is, unless they believe the exact same things 0.0 lol
