Chris,
I will not push you away. Many great minds have been made foolish, and the foolish have been made wise throughout many generations. I understand where you stand, but one cannot deny the Creator. Something divine and beyond our understanding. We try to dissect God and put human thought into it, when we can't even begin to touch the power and glory of Him. There have been many great minds that thought there was no God and it is a false teaching, trying to disprove God. They were proven wrong. Many times I have been humbled. I pray that you to are humbled. Take religion out of the equation and concentrate on the book as a whole.
I know if you look at the complexity of a single cell in the body and how 1000's of cells in the body function to keep you alive. There is a design. Even the stars and the planets. All are created and designed by one God/Creator.
