But I just don't care where the universe (or whatever is bigger than the universe) came from. If figuring it out somehow helps us to perform some kind of good, then great, good ahead and learn more. But really, I'm not all that interested in whether we came from the Big Bang or Adam and Eve or the dinosaurs.

I am interested in evolution because there are obvious similarities between humans and monkeys/gorillas/chimps/other primates that I'm not smart enough to remember...and heck, it's cool to witness the evolution of a species. But nah, I don't really care if primates came from outer space or heaven to start with.

(Disclaimer: This is not an attempt to convert anyone or be argumentative, merely presenting another view...and let me state again that I wasn't advocating teaching Creationism in public schools up above)

The reason I can't buy into the Big Bang all by itself is this: look around you. Think about the vastness of the universe and the complexity of the human body, just to name a couple of things. All this, spontaneously, out of nothing, without any intelligence, design or intent?

I just can't get my brain there. That's why I believe to my very core that there's a higher power. You can call him God/Odin/whatever; I believe in the Christian God for many reasons. I *can* believe in God creating the Universe with what appears to us, now, as a Big Bang.
