I believe in both. Science is wonderful! It helps us to understand worldly things. What is the sun? Oh, it's a burning ball of gas. Where does rain come from? Ahh, condensation in the air. How come that fish at the bottom of the ocean has a light on it's head? Oh, that's evolution, oh okay.
I just happen to also believe that all of these wheels were set in motion by a being far greater than ourselves.
I do not believe that science has disproved the existance of God. (And I'm sure there's plenty of scientists out there trying to do it, too.) To believe in God, one must have faith. The faith to believe in something that they have never seen and that has never been proven to exist. It's a tough thing for a lot of people to do.
Since we were quoting the Bible earlier, I'll leave you with this quote...
After Jesus was crucified, he rose from the dead. Two of the apostles saw his empty tomb and ran back to tell the other apostles. One of the other apostles, Thomas, was completely skeptical and said that he wouldn't believe that Jesus had risen from the dead until he could put his finger through the nail holes in his hands and put his hand into the sword hole in his side. The next day, while the apostles were all having dinner in a locked room (They were being semi-persecuted for having associated with Jesus.) when out of nowhere, Jesus appeared. He spoke to Thomas and told him to go ahead and put his hands in his wounds. Thomas didn't even need to, he broke down and cried for doubting Jesus. Jesus told him...
"You believe because you have seen, but blessed are those who have not seen, yet still believe."
