As science improves, most people now understand that things we observe like planetary motion, disease, weather patterns, etc., all have scientific explanations and don't require the belief in a divine being. Why hold out for a divine explanation on "creation?" Is it because these are harder issues to explain/understand scientifically, or is it that humans need to have a reason for being?
Understand, I personally am not an atheist, because I allow for the possibility of a divine presence, I just doubt there is one. If you answer this question by saying that God's presence can be ascertained by the big questions of creation, do you also believe that God is "responsible" for a tsunami that kills thousands, or a horrible disease that effects children?
