Well fine by me. But you don't believe there is evidence of God right as you just said? You don't believe evidence is the way to confirm God? But then you say that nature in design is your reason. So don't you consider that to be evidence? If you do then lets hope you have a better understanding of evolution after reading TBW 
maybe you won't think so then. Maybe you still will. I dunno.
But I certainly think that believing something because you want it to be true isn't a good reason if thats one of your reasons. If I want to believe I've won the lottery would that be a good reason to believe that I have?
There is of course a difference between a 'belief' and a 'hope'. If I hope that I'll win the lottery for instance. That's different to believing that I'm actually going to win it.
On the other hand, its very good of you to be so open to information.
