After reading the article, my questions are:
Why on God's green earth is the human brain wired for faith when our development is the result of purely evolutionary processes with no supreme being involved at all?
Is it possible that God gave us brains that are pre-wired for receptivity to His existence to make it easier for us to believe in Him?
Not sure if we're wired for faith, but maybe you just feel emotionally comforted by the idea? That happens, too. I was an atheist for a time, and logically, it felt 'right,' but emotionally, I could never really adjust to my new found 'lack of' faith. I wouldn't be too hard on yourself, it may just take time. I don't think that we need to force ourselves one way or the other, life is a journey...and not a race. Feel what you feel, until perhaps you don't feel it any longer.
