At least we figured that out for ourselves and didn't take somebody else's word for it.

I actually agree with this and as a scientist by profession I try and look for commonalities between what science tells me and what my religious beliefs are. I don't personally think trying to figure things out is bad at all. In fact, the more we delve into my own universe of choice (the human body) the more I see evidence of a divine creator. I suspect that we will eventually come to a similar conclusion with the cosmos, but who knows.
I'm all for science and I don't believe that science and religion are mutually exclusive pursuits. I think that the religious people who refuse to acknowledge science are wacked and so are the people who refuse to acknowledge the possibility of a divine creator despite science's inability to explain things.
