religious but not an extremist. i believe in things, of which includes the possibility that there is more than we can explain. i can't find myself believing solely in science, although i do know mostly everything is explainable. the problem with science is that we limit our knowledge to what we can see, hear, touch.. so really, everything that exists is accounted for because we have senses? what if we all happened to be blind. then the "facts" about our world and what we know about the universe would be vastly different. so how can it be a fact if it's completely dependent on the way we perceive our environment based on how we happened to evolve? i'm sure fish "know" that the universe is water, too, with a little bit of open land that we humans decide to introduce them to once in a while..
bottom line, i think it's pretty short-sighted to rationalize all that exists by the system where "if you can't sense it, it isn't there." i'm not trying to say i know there is a god and atheists are wrong, but i will say that at the same time, i don't know there isn't one.
just have faith in something. faith in science, faith in yourself, faith that things will work out for the best in the long run, whatever. you don't have to be a bible-thumper to believe in something and uphold a set of morals and personal values that are meaningful to you.
