I only view the lightning bolt as God's wrath when it hits someone.
On a slightly different vein, here is how science has actually INCREASED my faith in god, when viewed in the proper light. There IS what I believe to be logical proof that God has to have a hand in guiding Evolution.
Evolutionary theory contends that DNA evolved, which I do not disagree with. Where I and science part ways is I do not believe it is mathematically possible for it to have evolved by pure accident and chance, in the time span they tell us the universe existed. Ya may find this amusing, as when I use the following example, it generally gives atheists something to ponder...
I ask them "If I were to tell you that today I walked out my front door, and a bird on a posts, chirping out random notes, just happened to chirp out a concert perfect rendition of Beethovens 5th Symphony, a mathematical POSSABILITY no matter how improbable, which would you believe is most likely? That since it is POSSIBLE that it did happen? Or that I am a nut?"
Most at this point will say it is most likely I am a nut, and rightly so. So I then ask them "Since a DNA molecule, the blueprint of all animal life, simple in that it is composed of 4 chemicals, yet complex in containing the entire blueprint of a living thing, is unbelievably more complex than any symphony by whole orders of magnitude... how much of a nut would one have to be to believe THAT happened by pure chance and accident?"
