Sorry, I am trying my best to be as clear as possible.
I do believe that God created the universe, but I don't know how, and, for matters of scientific inquiry, don't think it matters. The First Cause is scientifically unknowable.
I don't believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis.
I believe that the universe is, as far as it is knowable, ruled by laws that can be determined through scientific inquiry.
I think Intelligent Design as it is presently formulated is a cop-out.
I think belief in God is irrelevant to cosmology, astronomy, physics, quantum mechanics, geology, biology, anthropology, archeology, genetics, etc., etc., etc.
The one thing I do reserve any opinion on is abiogenesis - I don't think there's sufficient evidence either way.

Ah, then I return your bump!
I'm pretty much along the same lines as you.
