IMHO we live in pretty interesting times. By that I mean we're capable of actually looking into space and seeing how small and insignificant we are in comparison to the entire universe (or to some, the entire "multi-verse"). I think the answer to the question if God(s) does or does not exists is becoming more and more complex. Sure the science behind evolution has become mostly accepted in the general public. But, going further back into the evolutionary chain begs the question,"But where did that come from?" Which can apply to virtually everything. But the further and further we investigate, scientifically, the chain leads back to the cosmos.
So I don't think it's a matter of science vs. faith. It's my opinion that those two can remain separate. One can easily accept the science and a belief system which allows God to have created the earth in a universe already set in motion. Even the origins of scripture can come into question simply by asking, if God is the "supreme being" then His message could have easily have been misinterpreted by the creationist's own logic. That we cannot understand a being that omnipotent and powerful. So what makes us think that His word is accurate when it was given to us humans with limited knowledge and understanding about how all this fucking works?
The end.

The 'god' the OP is referring to is the god (or gods, there's 3 of them right? They can't figure it out so how could I?) of Christianity. Which is a very different argument. You can be an atheist and still recognize the possibility that greater beings may exist.
Christianity on the other hand. They've put enough holes and hypocrisy in their own faith, I need not poke any more.
