...religion isn't about rationality.

That would be an opinion.

One of the points of this article is the increasingly overwhelming amount of "coincidence" in the universe.

I would argue that it is NOT rational to dismiss this "coincidental" universe as simply a result of blind luck and chance.

If you believe that is an opinion, you don't understand the idea of faith.

If one were operating purely on rational thinking, one couldn't believe in a God for which the only evidence IS faith.

The whole point of faith is belief in something for which you have no empirical evidence--if you had PROOF that God existed, you wouldn't NEED faith. What is the value of faith if there is evidence?
