      Hi Leah. No, I don’t. I’ve never seen any evidence for a god, so in my mind it doesn’t make any sense to believe in one (otherwise I could just believe in all sorts of other things that I’ve seen no evidence for as well!). Of course, absence of evidence isn’t the same thing as evidence of absence — so I could be wrong.

      No, I (like most Scientists, I imagine) am an Atheist – I don’t believe in the existence of an all knowing higher power. I think we’re here due to the miracle of evolution!

      Yes, I do. At the same time, like Sean, I think that the evidence supports the theory that we exist because of evolution. I don’t think that science and faith need be mutually exclusive. (Although there are people on both sides of this issue who think I am wrong for thinking that.) My faith is a personal experience – it’s about who I am as a human being. Science is about facts and testing hypotheses.

      How about you, Leahwring?
