I think that makes sense. Its impossible for anyone to debate about exactly how much God is involved in holding nature together.

My personal beliefs are in both. I don't see why, if you believe in one theory, you can't believe in the other. In fact, I believe that evolution supports the belief that there is a God. Evolution, to me, shows intelligence. If something isn't right about a species, it evolves into a better form of itself. I don't see how that isn't intelligent.
I’ve contemplated about whether or not there’s a god for years, as a majority of people do. The problem with believing in God is that most people see a man or woman or some earthly creature(s), where God doesn’t necessarily have to be any of those things, or even a being for that matter. God can be an essence or a force; energy. Who’s to say that God isn’t literally part of us? Perhaps the reason we keep coming back to that conclusion that there is some kind of higher power (generally speaking) is because part of that power resides in us.
Any person with a clear mind can gather that evolution is pretty much a fact, but why does that rule out a God? If nothing else, it shows signs of all things being controlled by a greater intelligence. Some people may see evolution as something primitive. The basic platform of evolution is that anything that a species needs to survive is gradually produced within that species in its entirety. For example, look at the ant eater. The belief is that the ant eater gradually grew and developed the long nose and tongue specifically to capture and eat ants from their ant hills. They were specifically designed for that purpose.
In my opinion, evolution shows intelligence, that we’re governed by a higher power with intelligence. There are a number of things you need to understand in order to see the connections and the true intelligence of being an organism. An organism is made up of millions of atoms and that itself is amazing, such intricate and complex things are created out of these atoms that can’t Even be seen by the naked eye. It’s amazing and shows intellect itself.
Stars are the source of life for all living organisms here on earth. Only through the death of a star can life be created here, and only on a living star can a lot of the elements and minerals be made to create life as it is here on earth. When a star is burning, it is so hot and full of energy that there, and only there (for now), can elements such as Iron be created. The bonds that create those dense elements can’t be created without the extreme temperatures and pressures of stars. When a star dies, all of those elements and minerals fly off into space and travel toward other planets. It's all so amazing, complex, and very complimentary.

Exactly what I was trying to say. The inner workings of nature are just too complex and perfect to be a mere coensidence.
