I too am too lazy to read everything.

While I do agree that science explains a lot, and manly "miracles" have a scientific explanation, science cannot explain our true origin. You can look at the biogenesis theory, "All Cells come from Pre-existing cells".

That means humans and everything on earth came from a single cell at some point. However, what could have made this cell? Many can say chemical/molecular reactions occurring in a small area could have sparked the need for a shielded area to do these reactions (end product: a cell)

Then we run into the whole, "Well where did the first Atom come from?" then we say, "Energy." but then, "Where did energy come from?" and it stops there. Science may only go that far. We either leave it as nothing turning into something (Which isn't possible since you can't make something into nothing), or use divine theory to fill in that gap. Divine theories have their own gaps too but they do help clear the haze.

I'd have to believe like the deists back during the enlightenment. The one god set the world in motion and lets it operate on it's own (much like a clock).
