I tried to read the entire thread. My heads hurt.

I'm reasonably intelligent, fairly well educated, and widely read. I'm also a believer. I don't think it is hard to reconcile being a thinking, educated person and still be a believer.

I happen to think that God created man (and women) and that mankind created God by believing in him. Yeah, there you go, circular, right? Try to find the flaw in the logic. If you don't believe in God, He doesn't exist for you, if you do, He does.

Darwin didn't reject the church completely; he was unsure. Einstein believed that there was some higher power that his calculations couldn't account for. All we really know is that if we think we must exist. Everything else is our best reasoning. As they say, reasonable minds can differ. What makes sense to me might not make sense to you.
