Ok, let me get this straight. You concede that scientists might be on to something when they describe the Big Bang and evolution. Yet, you think that God had some part in it all. That means:
You believe that 13.75 billion years ago, god set the universe in motion. He arranged all of the atoms in the perfect state so that about 9 billion years later, in the midst of a vast chaotic landscape, the Earth, one of more than a trillion mid-sized planets in a random corner of the universe, would be created within a violent cloud and, after another 3.5 billion years of biological evolution, plate tectonics and mass extinctions, human beings would appear and work to acquire enough collective knowledge to eventually acknowledge his existence? Meanwhile, God, surveying this massive universe that he’s created, looks down at this planet (that accounts for 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000003% of the total volume of his entire creation) and decides to take a vested interest in each of the 7 billion humans who happen to be alive at the time? Oh, and he requires that each of these humans pay homage to him and restrict their daily behaviors and natural inclinations to his bidding.
Right.
