Cool story bro:

BTW, you realize that your signature states that all religion is ignorance, and then attempts to lump science into that ignorance as well? You are bashing both science and religion; however, more so religion, as they've managed to climb that peak first .
We are climbing two very different mountains (if you can call your journey a journey over a mountain -- an anthill is a more fitting term). You don't have to climb too high to accept the blind bliss of faith.
Ah, it does not. It states that scientists (you) have scaled the mountains of ignorance (which you are currently scaling). After you have scaled these mountains, you have found the final peak, and you begin your ascension to truth. Once you get there, you are met by me.
If you can't figure it out for yourself: SCIENCE LEADS TO GOD.
I fear that you will never even find the final peak.. Much less reach its summit.
Oh well, I'm sure the mountains of ignorance are good exercise.
"Only a rookie who knows nothing about science would say science takes away from faith. If you really study science, it will take you closer to God." -Nanoscientist James Tour of Rice UniversityIn case you didn't know, James Tour is one of the worlds leading scientists. He knows existentially more about science (which is the god of atheism) than you. Maybe you should listen to him.
Edit:
By the way, I do not believe in God merely because of faith, but because of science, logic, reason and evidence.
I am 100% sure that my God is the immaterial, immortal, spaceless, timeless, loving, caring, humble, moral, good and all-knowing God that He claims to be.
Edit2:
Professor Dawkins admits to the possibility of intelligent design:

Edit3:
There over 100 trillion cells in the human body. That is 100,000 billions.
The DNA in each and every cell in your body contains as much information as 25,000 two-hundred page books.
This means that There are 250,000,000,000,000,000,000 books worth of information in all the cells of your body.
This means that there are 50,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 pages of information in all the cells of your body. That is a 5 followed by 22 zeros.
Now, this is not just your body, but in each and every body of each and every living being on the entire planet. There are around 6.5 billion people currently on earth, and many many more nonhuman species. Imagine the amount of information in every cell of every being combined.
DNA is, in effect, a 4 character genetic alphabet. Never history has an alphabet come into being by any source other than an intelligent creator. Why would the most complicated language in the universe?
I'm sure you've heard the message in the sand analogy, it goes something like this: If you were walking down the beach and you saw "get out, tourists!" written in the sand, would you assume a wave rolled up and created it? That a bird got sick of tourists and decided to leave them a message? NO! You assume that an intelligent being wrote it with content and purpose.
I'm sorry to break this to you, but there are only 4 natural forces and they are as follows: gravity, strong force, electromagnetism and weak force.
None of them know how to spell.
