Darwin was a self-professed agnostic, freely admitting that he could find no empirical evidence that supported the belief or the existence of God. Darwin is quoted as saying, "The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic."

As such he sought, as does Darwinism and Evolution in the most widely used sense, to find and explain answers to matters of our physical existence without any theistic trappings: ergo, without God. It is widely believed that such a thing is possible, even among people of faith. Science and religion are generally accepted as two separate regions, and is often cited as governing two separate areas of existence: one physical and one spiritual. This has become a widely accepted view, even to the point of becoming a philosophical pursuit. You want cold, hard facts you pursue science: you want truth, you pursue religion or philosophy. As such, it should be no surprise that the two could be deemed as "coexisting."

And why not? If God little more than something or someone to give you comfort in your time of need, simply a savior that rescues you from a far-off eternal damnation, merely a figure in a heavenly courthouse that will one day secure your spiritual fate, why shouldn't God and Darwinism coexist? Especially if religion is simply something you practice one day a week and only a fish-like emblem you affix to your vehicle. For Darwinism and God to coexist, they would essentially have to have mutually exclusive realms of influence: and they do, correct?

Or do they?

All throughout scripture God is referred to as The Maker of Creation, Ruler of heaven and earth. He is the One who spoke everything we know, everything in the physical universe into existence. He conceived it, made it, governs it, and cares about it. He is called the Master Craftsman: the ultimate designer, engineer, construction manager and builder. He "stretched out the heavens" with His own hands. He is credited with knowing you before you were in your mother's womb, knowing the number of hairs on your head, knowing every grain of sand and every star in heaven. His presence is in the loftiest heavens and lowliest depth. There are numerous names, characteristics and attributes that relate to God, and most of them indicate that He is an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God that is not only responsible for creating the physical world we know, but governs every part of it (including science).
