Look at the world around them and come up with their own hypothesis on why something was. I chose to do the same thing rather than believing what I was told. Challenge everything and look at ALL options.

AFTER I came to that realization, that someone/thing put all these rules into place, then I started looking for more answers. Having given 10+ years to definitively believing there was no God (or super intelligent creator), I figure I deserve to at least give a little segment of my life to investigating the other possibility. Mind you that this was the furthest thing from possible in my earlier years.

Science wants to rule out a creator because we simply can't wrap our minds around it being a possibility. It's a tough pill to swallow. Equally tough to swallow is the concept that with the odds being ridiculously against all of this happening by chance, that we are the biggest powerball winners ever.

There's that word again.
