If you go to my posting of Richard Dawkins interview with Father George Coyne Tav you'll see him explain quite clearly from a Christians point of view about the issue of God's existence from the POV of creation/ science. He says of the question that: "it isn't satisfying at all". Theological and philosophical questioning doesn't really answer the question well enough. For the question is a scientific one. What you're searching for Tav is a "God of explanation" as Coyne puts it, and that God is not the Christian God. If you want to find explanation... then use science. Don't try to make ideas of God = scientific ideas. I hope that makes sense.
You're exclusive take here has been to understand a Christian's reasoning for their belief in God from a scientific POV... which is strictly outside of the realm of religious belief. I'd suggest, if you want to try to understand reasoning for belief, you try to focus on what that belief actually entails rather than on what it doesn't. Don't change the subject to science... stick to the subject of religion.
