I suppose so. But I tend to look at things from a practical scientific stand point as well, and that tends to look like athiesm for all practical purposes.

But to make it more confusing to everyone, culturally, I'm definitely Christian...

Well that is interesting to me because I think it is absolutly wonderful that you see God in all his glory in his creation.

And the same fingers that made that so I believe was from the same hand that with one finger gave two tables of testimony to Moses .

Exodus ,31:18
And he gave unto Moses when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai ,two tables of testimony,tables of stone,written with the finger of God.

Psalm 8:3

When I consider thy heavens,the work of thy fingers,the moon and the stars,which thou hast ordained:

Allot of people saw God in the same way .

Where we can look to the bible and see truth, or the work and word of God, I think we should learn from it. But you will probably agree that we must pick and choose from any of the holy books. They are impossible to follow literally.
