We also have no direct experience to understand the weird world of quantum physics. Our intuition is sometimes a bad source of understanding and we can't rule out possibilities because they fly in the face of our intuition - that is the reason that we need to rely on evidence. And don't want you to think I'm being a smart-ass, because if there is no thing we call God then all this just happened. I think that's illogical. Don't be concerned about being a smart-ass (not that you are one), because I'm likely to be judged as one, at least occasionally. This is behind my statement that I think that you invoke God to cover what you consider to be illogical. I'm confident that in bygone times people felt that naturally occurring events could have only been logically explained by a God. But, as you point out disagreeing makes life more interesting.

Fair enough.
