“What about the view that God is behind all natural processes, even evolution?”
Spirited: Discernment is a must on this issue. On one hand is supernatural creation which begins with specific acts of creation and then proceeds by way of a process of development under the control of the personal, rational Creator. Some people call this process of development ‘evolution.’
On the other hand there is atheist evolutionism based on the scientifically disproved notion that life and consciousness somehow emerged from nonlife.

How can anyone say with absolute certainty that no god exists. Believing there is no god as atheists do is more of a faith-based system than any traditional religion. It is far more likely than not that there is some form of superior intelligence responsible for the universe, and also that humans beings are especially tuned into it. Physical chemistry professor Lothar Schaefer goes into this subject deeply in his book, "In Search of Divine Reality: Science as a Source of Inspiration".
For anyone interested in the strange workings of quantum mechanics, here are links to a perhaps a bit 'dry' at first but soon fascinating 2-part interview. It's done in such a way as to be easily comprehensible to anyone slightly familiar with the subject:
Program: Science and the Written Word:
A regular series produced by CUNY-TV [City University of New York] featuring interviews with
authors of new books on science. Hosted by Lou Massa, professor of
chemistry and physics at Hunter College/CUNY.
Guest: Lothar Schafer
Professor of Physical Chemistry , University of Arkansas
In this 2-part interview, Lothar Schafer talks about his book In
Search of Divine Reality. The tries to make connections among
science, religion, and the arts.
