Thank you for the tip on Huxley, I will track it down, or look it up.
I would take up agreement with all of those who responded to my Hello by noting my personal experience-the more I explored evidence of a God, the more evidence I found that God is a hoax, perpetrated upon us average folks, for the sake of keeping those in power in power.
I have found incredible intelligence throughout nature, and certainly while science discovers one process after another, validating natures intelligence, we certanly seem to struggle to find the origins of any given process. This however does not lead me to think that there's some magical old dude blowing life into everything anymore than I think Santa ate the cookies on his way back up the chimney.
Thank you for the feedback, it's good to find a place where he people are sane and rational about life and lifes origins.

You can't prove no God and I can't either-but I lean so heavy towards AtheismHave you ever considered reading Huxley's original essay on Agnosticism. I think if you do that you will find that agnosticism and atheism are not mutually exclusive. Agnosticism covers knowledge (proof, etc) whilst atheism covers belief.
Myself, I am an agnostic atheist. I can't prove God's non-existence, but that doesn't mean I have to believe God exists.
Welcome to the forums
