Dear Ray, I certainly can understand why a person would be an agnostic. That is they way people are taught if the schools can't completely turn you into an atheist. There are a lot of agnostic scientists that didn't believe in God, but can see there isn't any other option for the way the everything is so perfectly made. It couldn't happen. To paraphrase one scientist in the forward of Darwin's book, he said that evolution didn't work, but the alternative that God created the world is unexceptable so they are required to believe the unbelievable. You can start understanding God by appreciating the beauty he has created for us. There is no need for beauty in evolution. The Bible, although not written as a science book, believe it or not is quite accurate scientifically and archaeologically the more they dig. I heard a man talk that told of when he was working on his PhD his professor said "I can prove the Bible isn't true. There were no camels in Egypt in Abraham's time like the Bible says". Later he said, "Moses couldn't have written the first 5 books of the Bible because they didn't have writing then." The speaker then showed us photos of his discoveries that proved that there were camels there in Abraham's time, and that they did have writing in Mose's time. The Bible explains God and you are plenty smart to understand him if you try. Try it, you might like it.

No "agnostic" scientist would believe in "Intelligent Design" which implies a creator. I don't think we are smart enough to understand "God" if it exists. I'm not.
