Good enough. Thank you for actually answering honestly. I actually do the same thing with the exception of ruling out anything supernatural. Does that make me dumb? Maybe, but I'm not really that worried about that. I myself have never been able to reconcile the high level of design found in even the lowest forms of life in the natural world with there being no creator. Design to me, must always infer a designer.
Take stone hence for example. No one knows exactly who built it, or exactly when. We have never met and seen whomever it was that built it. But even at with something that seems to be so simple, stones laying on stones in a circle, is not given a purely natural explanation. No reasonable person would deny that stonehenge was designed.

The universe runs on existing laws. It shows design to high a superbly high degree. Otherwise we would not even be able to keep time.

Based on that I cannot reject the idea of a creator. Design comes from intelligence. Also what I have learned in my decades of reading and studying the bible in no way contradicts science. I know this will be a point of contention for most people, but I have not found an area where the bible touches on science (after all, it was never meant to be a scientific textbook) that is inaccurate. Misunderstood, yes, but not actually inaccurate. There are also areas where the bible touches on science and explains things that were no known at the time. To me this is a strong evidence of its source.

I also wanted to point out that I have never shied away from pro evolution books or websites. In fact I find them the most enlightening. I'm currently reading a book from the early 1900's about the formation of the doctrine of evolution.

You comparison is very poor. We know humans build things, we have found tools around Stonehenge along with other objects which place humans there. When was the last time you seen an omnipotent being create something?
