I Am As Religious As Science Will Allow

As a former scientist, my approach is to believe in as much religion as the truth obtained by science will allow. As such I can create a model of the supernatural based on scientific principles which contain much of what religion says about the supernatural including the possibility of intelligent beings.

This approach does not allow for an omnipotent god or a literal word of god bible. But it does allow for an intelligent godlike being or beings that can guide the evolution creation process, even though I am not able to model such a being.
