I agree with everything you say. The first part because that is science and
the second part because I am a Christian. However, a scientist who is an
atheist could agree only with the former and claim that the latter is pure
nonsense. In my view the amount of brains we must use to describe nature
implies an intelligence beyond ours that has had something to do with what
our inquiries and musings. I believe C.S. Lewis was right when he wrote that
reasoning is supernatural.
Take care,
