Creationism has zero merit.

Also, religious folk don't seem to understand the scientists feel the same wonder and awe that they do, that in our own way we too are looking for meaning and understanding but do so by using our own innate curiosity.

I would also suggest religious folk don't aren't exclusively the ones contemplating the numinous and mysteries of existence; as a scientist I also seek the fundamental truths addressed in the visual arts, poetry, culture and importantly music.

I am also spiritual, but my beliefs in this realm I try to ground in science. I was raised CoE, went to methodist and free churches, investigated the occult and paganism, engage in buddhism for a while, and in truth science and art are the only things that I have found that seem to address the corporeal and unknown nature of the universe.
