It's just what I choose to believe.

Uh, how do you choose to believe something? As far as I'm concerned, belief is not an act of volition.

What is it an act of then? I see evidence of design all around me, so I choose to believe that it is the work of an Intelligent Designer. Who this entity is, I don't know. I don't think it's the God of the Bible, though.

I certainly can't choose to believe something. If I could then I'd be able to believe something and in the next moment not to believe it, then believe it again and so on.
But this is clearly something I'm not capable of.
