...In fact, it was a priest when I was about 10 that taught me how to view the Bible with a critical eye and read it for the beautiful stories, metaphors and life lessons it contains, rather than taking it as literal truth. Thanks, Father Palko! You were awesome.

To be honest I don't have the energy to argue against any of this right now. You've made some good points; so let's just leave it there.
Except I'll just say that science is a Faith too, based on observations of the Universe and a certain point-of-view.

One other thing I'd like to emphasize though, is the tv example. What I meant was that the materials that go INTO a tv set (or computer, medical scanner, etc.) happen to have EXACTLY the properties which are necessary in order to make them possible IF PEOPLE SEARCH FOR THEM. That, too me, seems like something that's extremely unlikely to happen "on its own."

Does there HAVE to be an underlying, first "cause?"
Well, technically no, I guess not -
But I feel that it's a rational possibility that there might be.
