Trying to explain things in the physical world through religion is barking up the wrong tree. Just as trying to explain something that deals with spirituality or the supernatural by using the scientific method. I don't expect the existence of God or angels, etc, to be proven through science because those things are not of the physical world and can't be tested.
Except where those things are supposed to affect reality. Then those effects should be at least detectable. Tell me there's an undetectable angel sitting on my shoulder and I don't care. Say that it controls the weather or something and I'm going to ask you how you can know that.
To add to that, I'd recommend reading (that part of it is pretty short) Richard Dawkins' bit from his book The God Delusion about Steven J. Gould's NOMA (Non-Overlapping Magisteria) concept and its shortcomings.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
