Hey Dreadnought, some people might say the same thing about religion too.

At least, in the modern world.
Basically agree with your last post except for one small thing. You make it sound like Science and Atheism necessarily must go together. This is not so.
Science basically handles things that can be proven... demonstrated... reproduced. Anything that cannot be proven is NOT necessarily false; it just can't be proven. This is part of what is known as the Scientific method.
When science says it cannot prove the existence of God or the veracity of Jesus as Savior (or any other Biblical theme you care to name except those that CAN be proven), it is not saying they are false. It just means they cannot be proven or demonstrated and therefore lie outside the realm of Science. That does not mean it is false. It of course does not mean it is true either but that's a whole different matter. My point is that science (actual science not that pseudo-scientific Creationism science that insists the world was created in 6 days and is only 6000 years old and that sort of thing) and religion do not conflict except in the eyes of the Beholder. There may have been a Creator God who set up all the rules; that is entirely possible. It just cannot be proven. That does NOT make it false. If the Creationists (who do not respect the scientific method but insist on blind faith rather than find evidence for much of their dogma) just stuck to that without tossing in extra baggage that was discredited centuries ago, they might have a better case.
I am an amateur scientist. I am NOT an atheist. A word that might describe me more accurately is Deist. I believe in God but NOT necessarily in what either the Bible or the Church says. I am also an amatuer historian and know more about how the Bible was written than most laymen and probably some priests. Like you, I cannot believe something as complex and grand as the Universe came out of nothing. However, I also cannot believe in a god who seems to display virtually zero understanding of Human psychology or societal needs as either Jesus or the God of the Old testament apparently do. Being a Deist seems to be the most reasonable compromise.
Like Scotstud94, my faith is more in science than religion, Science does not have all the answers; it is still a work in progress and far from complete. Even the Bible did not spring into being overnight; it took over 1000 years. Modern science has been around less than 500; and has already changed more lives than all religions combined have in the same time frame. Religion though is important for other reasons that are not the job of science. So both have a place in our lives; it's not a choice between good and evil we're discussing here.
That's my opinion, for what it's worth.
Dare to be different... and make a difference.
To boldly go where no one in their right mind has gone before...
