I have never been anything else. I only believe that God created and then used exquisitely complex and perfect processes in the creation of the universe and man. I also believe that scientific pursuit that results in the discovery or revealing of things never before observed by man bring us closer to the God who created them.
For some this is experienced in a stunningly beautiful sunset, or a mountain meadow in bloom, or seeing the face of your departed mother in the face of your newly born granddaughter, for me it is all of the above and the wonders of math, physics, and biology.
I believe you share your philosophical approach to science with the likes of Newton. What I have seen coming from the leftist universities in the last century has been an atheistic philosophical approach to science that a priori categorically excludes any deduction that what you see in the microscope or in the existence of atoms or their "natural" properties is the result of any kind of supernatural guidance. So as a result those who state that what they see in the microscope is evidence of intelligent design are, like they are here on free republic, ridiculed and scoffed and attacked not for what they observe in nature, but what they conclude by those observances.
Now I don't go on these crevo threads too often, but whenever I do I am mocked and ridiculed. Generally I don't even state what my own philosophical or scientific conclusions are, I generally just question those who find it necessary to ridicule people who have a different opinion in regard to their philosophical approach to scientific data and observations.
FWIW I have a rather quantum physical approach to the subject. I believe that God created a 6 billion year old earth in 6 days. He could have done it quicker, but he wanted to take his time. :-)
