I posted this in a thread on my forums about evolution but thought I'd share it here as well to get an even broader set of opinions.
I agree totally. The whole question of whether life evolves naturally or by some kind of directed process is still very much open to the discovery of more evidence. Keeping an open mind is what drives the scientific process forward. This is why I disagree with those that have already made up their minds and want to do so for the rest of the population. It doesn't matter what theory you believe is the truth, you should always constantly be weighing the facts as new ones are discovered.
Problem is that religion requires a certain leap of faith... But what is a leap of faith but to abandon all rational thought and suspend all logic in order to just "believe". People get scammed and lose their life savings to scammers every day for doing nothing more than taking a leap of faith..... you can take that statement and expand on it in your own mind as you see fit. But I'm just saying, the next time someoen tells you to just take a leap of faith, don't leap, run in the other direction.
