You can believe whatever you want,
if it helps keep you warm at night to believe in a god, great, do so. If it helps you achieve meaning for your life, great, do so. Science and religion are diametrically opposed, in every manner. A belief in god requires you suspend scientific theory and application; that you believe in "miracles"; that you disregard scientific application, reason and logic; that you believe that the god that you worship has more validity than that of Greek & Roman Gods, the druids, Ba'll, or any other faiths or god, for that matter. Quite frankly, they are all invalid but exist(ed) to provide people, like yourself, some comfort that there is something to explain the unexplainable and to make people feel there is more purpose than merely living and dying. It also serves the purpose of control and manipulation of people such as yourself, and very effectively so. So, I don't begrudge that you believe in fairy tales, provided they don't interfere with our government (as they have!) or the Bill of Rights (as they have!).
