seriously, I feel compelled to turn in my Christianity card after reading through this thread. Thinking about how the world came to be and how all creatures have evolved is so huge. When I think of "higher power" I don't think "God", but literally whatever power was necessary to start it all in the first place.
Religion can really be a mind ****. Discussing religion with my fiancee, I asked her what keeps her faith so strong and her reply was simply "talking to God makes me feel better". I asked her what if it was some how proven that God or none of what you know God to be truly existed, would you feel deceived? and she said "no, I feel like the idea of God listening to me and being there when I was afraid, lonely or sad was helpful to me in my life and often necessary". So I took that as God really is whatever you need God to be within' your own life, without buying into the hype you can simply just take it as a means to find peace within' yourself.
