I think the proof of a supreme being lies in the every-day wonders which surround us. We see the proof everywhere we look, and can feel the life within us that didn't simply spring up out of nothingness. Life itself is proof of God.

I'm ok with this as long as it sticks to generalities, but when some makes the leap from "sense of wonder" to "Genesis is literal history", I can't follow that path. Religious texts are graven images, as surely as idols of gold.

Belief should be the servant of truth, not its master.

Well, I don't know about the "graven images" idea, but you certainly have a point about belief being the servant of truth. And I will admit that though I believe in God, I'm not really clear on the nature of the supreme being. The only thing I'm really clear on, is that nobody else is, either.
