I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that God exists, and I believe as strongly as I can that He loves me/you/everyone/Billy Idol. I don't have plain, numbers, black-and-white evidence for that, but I just know. I'm gonna beg your respect on that one.
Science is fantastic, but I think anyone who believes that humanity as a whole can ever know, much less understand, even a small fraction of Everything, is off base and arrogant. There's just too much for us to wrap our brains around.
More and more is discovered, but the thing to bear in mind is that (at least by popular belief) God created everything we're discovering.
The Bible is not a scientific text because it really has no need to be. All it gives us is respect and understanding of our Lord. Anyone who tries to use the Bible as a scientific text is making some kind of grave mistake, just as someone who looks for spiritual answers in a scientific journal is barking up the wrong tree. The Bible only provides the why; we're discovering the How right now, and it's exciting as hell.
Creation is a whole other can of worms I can get into if you want, but generally when I consider the improbability of evolution leading to the kind of moral consciousness that allows us to be having this very conversation I kind of like to think someone is pulling the strings. I believe evolution is a totally valid theory, but I also believe God started and supervised the process.
What scientific discovery have we come across that actively disproves God? If anything, learning the details of what makes our world tick should amaze us and inspire us to appreciate Him more.
