I can take evolution or leave it. I'm not a scientist so I can't prove it one way or the other. People who *are* scientists tell me that the theory has a lot going for it, so I assume that they more or less know what they're talking about.

That's true, but there *are* scientists who think that believing in evolution would also take a leap of faith. A survey a couple years back showed that 40% of US scientists believe in God (45% don't, and 15% are agnostic)...

Believing in God and believing in evolution are not necessarily divergent. How many of those scientists were asked their opinion on evolution?

Indeed..if I WAS a God-botherer I'd find the 'scientific' basis for life (as guided by God) fare more beautiful and amazing that just zapping up everything 8000 years ago or so.
