I've never been able to have faith enough to become an atheist. When I look through the Hubble telescope, when, in northern Wisconsin, I experience the awe of the Northern lights, when I see people and their history over time, when I see a newborn baby or a crop of freshly grown corn or baby birds in the nest that their mother built from scratch, I just don't have faith enough to believe that all that "just happened" with no intelligent design. My eye is miracle enough for me to believe in something greater than chance.....just saying
by Walt Whitman
When I heard the learn'd astronomer,
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me,
When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide,
and measure them,
When I sitting heard the astronomer where he lectured with
much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon unaccountable I became tired and sick,
Till rising and gliding out I wander'd off by myself,
In the mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look'd up in perfect silence at the stars.
For people that don’t believe in a “Sky-Fairy”, they spend an awful lot of time obsessing about....WHAT, exactly?

Fully agree with you. Thank you for that.
My problem is believing that something came from nothing, as in the Big Bang. Something had to be the Initiator, at least in the rules of this universe.
