While I am all but a converted Catholic and am growing ever tired of religion itself, I've wondered the same thing many times. like a previous poster said, I would like to think that we are here today from both God's hand and evolution.
From the Big Bang forward, evolution has dominated the development of our universe. We have evolved, the world is not 6000 years old, and there is no conventional god that will shun us if we lust after our neighbour. It's all crap. However, I truly believe some higher being, some omnipotent force that may or may not be intelligent initiated the Big Bang. How it was ever accomplished, we'll probably never know. What I do know, however, is that religion is dogma meant to conform the masses, and at some point in the future, science will inevitably have to answer the truth to intelligent design, whether it's now, or in a million years. All evidence points to scientific theory, but the Big Bang is still very much a mystery.
