Humanity abhors a void.
The most important grounds on which I reject atheism and evolution, is that atheism is ugly. There is no poetry, no beauty in the belief that man arose from the primordial ooze. The thought that ultimately, my ancestor had no opposable thumbs and no ability to speak is repugnant to me. The idea that our world is the result of an extremely fortunate accident is uninspiring. What scientists propose is about as likely as winning the lottery every day for a year. Has anyone asked why enormous amounts of time are necessary to account for the rise of the universe? Because if a million monkeys typed on a million typewriters long enough eventually they would have to produce Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace to satisfy every eventuality.
Even scientists and atheists who reject God as the crutch of a weak mind worship their own gods. Science is their god; Darwin and Stephen Hawkings are their prophets. Even if the matter of the universe was once concentrated in an infinitetismal dot that exploded to produce our universe, where did the dot come from? The matter of the dot just is? The universe is eternal? If they answer with claims like that they sound like God in the Bible saying he is and always was. Unconciously even they are crowning a new God even if their God is the dot from which all matter arose.
What is worse, certain scientists, like Stephen Hawkings, have made their worship of science more explicit, saying that science can explain the metaphysical. These men and women seek to destroy the magic of everyday living and dethrone God and destroy religion (religion can die for all I care though) and replace God with science and religion with education and position the scientist and educators as high priests of the new religion.
Should they succeed they will have failed. Science is based on skeptical analysis of known facts. Should they acheive their goal of inspiring everyone with blind acceptance of science as the only answer science will have lost its most vital asset - people who don't accept anything less than the truth. Science as a religion will destroy science as science.
