Before it can be said that scientists whisk away a creator, those that posit a creator have to be able to justify their claims that a creator is even a viable candidate explanation in the first place.
Propositions with no: demonstrable, falsifiable, and verifiable evidence, and no valid and sound logic to support, have no reason to be considered in science at all.
It's not the fault of science that theists continue to fail to support their claims, and god seems to be playing the longest running game of hide and seek, ever.
When you see a Tinkertoy (do they still EXIST?) construction do you say that it was Evolution (Blind Chance) that made it?
First of all, the biodiversity on earth is not a product of blind chance. Evolution by the way of natural SELECTION. Notice the word "selection"? Selection is pretty much the opposite of blind chance.
Second, your entire "argument" is what is known as an "argument from ignorance" or, maybe more specifically, "argument from personal incredulity". Just because you are unable to come up with how evolution functions, does not mean that others are unable to. Your lack of knowledge, does not make our 'god did it' proposition any more credible.
Once again, please justify why a god is a candidate explanation, with demonstrable and falsifiable evidence.
Because as it is, all you are saying is, "magic did it".
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
