A supernatural being that created us and loves us? Sure, that could be interesting. If the concept makes sense, then we have an immensely-powerful being who wants the best for us and wants us all to be happy. Which means that instead of forcing us all to go through thousands of years of death, war, disease, misery, and suffering, would figure things out before they could go wrong and we'd all be happy from the very start.
In other words, I'd be happy if a competent god was real.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
