Not at all. It's just one of those things that occurs to you over 
time..  There was a point where I just realized there's something very 
alive underpinning and permeating everything, something sub-physical, 
sub-philosophical, sub-mathematical in nature. I choose to call that, 
and other things, God.  Arriving at that kind of realization sort of 
requires a personal response, so, I spent about a year learning about 
God, and decided to become a Christian about 4 years ago.  I wasn't 
pushed into it, or guilt-tripped into it, and didn't have any 
life-changing drama to spur it. It was by choice. I found my way into 
faith without sacrificing free will, or behaving in a way that's 
contrary to plain reason and common sense.

Here, i'll throw one out for you.

IMHO, God created the underlying laws and mechanics which made 
higher-level systems like biochemistry possible. We are undoubtedly the 
products of natural selection and evolution. Anybody who takes something 
like the book of Genesis and inteprets it as anything other than 
heavilly metaphorical in nature is completely dippy, woefully ignorant, 
has completely missed the point, or is wholly incapable of subjecting 
themselves to the discomfort that critical self-examination requires.
