I guess I want to have my cake and eat it too.. I just don't see how one negates the other. but you're right there is a lot of stuff that has no explanation but on the other hand you have plenty of scientists who are religious.. I guess they fit in the same boat as I, as in those who have some form of spirituality as well as a thirst for science and truth, and that both views can co-exist.
