Hope someone can help...

I've never really questioned the existence of god until I met my OH who is Muslim. I've been a non practising Christian most of my life and as a scientist I have often struggled with the concept. Even more so as I have handled the bones of early man and studied human evolution.

Can anyone please explain what it is that makes them believe in god? Its a hard question to answer but I just struggle to understand. Also why do you choose to believe in god?

I'm not looking to upset anyone or for arguments, its a genuine query. Thank you in advance xx
