Benevolent Creator God?

[Mashmont]

For me, God's existence is self-evident. All people would believe if some didn't think evolution/modern science somewhat dispense with the existence of God,

That’s precisely what modern science does - it points out, to anyone who is intellectually prepared to accept it, that your God is a God of the gaps. This particular fallacy is special case of the argument from ignorance. Since you’re not able to grasp a mundane explanation  for a natural phenomenon, you simply ‘goddidit’ and go your merry way. Alternately, you do the same thing when you pounce on something that science has not yet explained.

1000 years ago, it was widely considered that God was the explanation for everything, from the opening of a morning glory to a meteor strike. As science uncovers more and more about how the world wags and what wags it, there is less and less for God to do. You’re desperately clinging to a smaller and smaller God.

I don't see it that way at all.  To me, God is not only 100% compatible with science, He IS the ultimate in scientific understanding, something unattainable for humans.  The science we understand is but a tiny percentage of all there is to understand.  God = Science = Truth.   That's why it makes me bristle when leftwing atheists go on about 'science' and say conservative Christians don't believe in it.  We are ALL about it.
