You can't. Once you learn the truth, there is no going back.
You are supposed to go forward, not backward.

As a scientist with almost 50 years of experience, I have gone from atheist to believer over the course of time and study. Science does a very very good job of explaining what is happening, and in some cases how it is happening, but it is much more unclear throughout as to exactly why it is happening. There are very many rules in science and I can put the chemicals together in a test tube but I do not create living things from nothing. I have tried. I create a new baby in a test tube but only from what was already given me from the mother and the father...I can synthesize many things but they do not take on a life of their own.....the more I learn the more I am just utterly amazed at what I do not know. Be careful with a little knowledge, and putting all hope in science, we do not know enough now by any means.

I'm huge believer in science, the big bang, evolution etc. If there's enough proof i'll take it. But I can't stop at the big bang. Where'd it all come from? I keep coming across scientists that find that the more they study the universe and the intricacies of life, quantum physics, biology etc. etc., the more they are amazed at how everything works together, how there seems to be some sort of design. I guess I'm the same. The more I study it the more I'm convinced there's some higher intelligence out there.

As long as you do not consider those things that says evolution is wrong.
They have found human and dinosaur footprints in the same rock.
At the rate the oceans are getting saltier they would have been fresh water only a few thousand years ago (even with the ice capes melting).
The helium in our atmosphere should have stabilized within 10,000 years, but it is still changing.
They have found mammal foot prints in rock older than that of dinosaurs.
They have found man made artifacts in rock.
Petrification do not take a long time (they have hats, tools and other items that have been petrified - including a human foot in a cow boy boot!!).

By feeling strongly that God exists, and ignoring the fact that other people feel equally strongly that a different god exists.
hazel eyes:
Bad analogy. Science laws are not the same as traffic laws. Science laws are discovered facts of the universe, not something we invent for our own convenience. Laws of science can not be broken (if they are, it means we haven't got them right!) so do not need a higher authority to uphold them.

Science did not create anything. Science is the study and understanding( man's viewpoint) of how things work.
God gave man the brains and ability to learn and understand these things.
The more science discover things the more we get closer to God.

You can't......if you are asking this question. Faith is not about weighing the facts of science and God, then trying to figure out which one makes more sense. But since you want to be convinced....answer this....where is the scientific explanation for the "soul?"

Maybe you have not researched science correctly...even the theory of evolution, is just what it is, just theory...not 100% fact...there is still this little thing that scientist like to hide called "the missing link"...hence, it is called 'Theory of Evolution'.
Beliefe in God, in my eyes, makes sense...still, their is a certain portion that can only be recalled back to faith, but it is the same as science...the only difference is, with Believing in God, you can atleast relate a definative starting point, being creation, that science is trying to study...all things must be engineered, and God is the chief engineer...The problem I have with science and evolution and order coming from chaos, is that if the theory is correct, that would mean that if you jump in a time machine and skip to the future 10 million years to the same spot of where your local tip is, you would miraculously find a fully functional and sophisticated Jumbo 747...does that sound logical to you? certainly not to me...there has to be an engineer...
Having said that, I do not think science contradicts the existance of God...on the contrary, the more you delve into the deapth of any research, and watch the intricate complexities of any created being or system...be it as tiny as microbes, or grand as the universe, you can only come to wonder on the power and glory of such a grand engineer, and His awsome loving power of creation.
But then again, that is just me...
I hope this helps somewhat...God bless.

what is harder to believe? that our world ,all of its creatures in all of their complexities and the way it all supports the whole in a continuous cycle of birth ,death, rebirth. that everything on the earth contributes its own little part in keeping everything together and going. is the result of BANG! something out of nothing or that it is the result of Intelligent design?common sense tells us that order can,t come from chaos,and yet you insist on believing that it did not once but many times to become the world we live in.That's strange to me because at the same time you question my intelligence?check out http://emporium.turnpike.net/C/cs/ see if the evolutionists really are more convincing.><> praying for you.

Would you please explain then how life originated? Science has tried to create life in it's simplest forms through spontaneous generation (only way life could start without a creator of some sort) and has failed every time. One of the great Biologists Stanley Miller (check your textbook he is probably in it) says the origin of life remains a mystery! Until you can explain that, nothing in evolution can happen.

It's hard for me to believe how man takes mans word instead of man's inventions that can see into the universe.
The Hubble space telescope for one,anybody can go to NASA websites and view pictures of the universe.How can you not believe in God?
