Voted option two but i'm kind of between options 1 and 2. I still grapple with the concept of God and who (or what) he/she/it is. I believe it is certainly possible that "God" is simply the natural order of all things that have ever happened, rather than an entity that controls that order, so under those circumstances, it is possible that "God" created all, because God is all.

Doesn't make sense, I know.

Last option:




I believe in the current scientific explanations for the universe, life, humanity, etc.

I also believe in God, Jesus as the incarnation of God and savior and his resurrection.

But I didn't vote for Option 2 because I think God exists in the natural universal, and the acts surrounding Jesus were done in science-so-advanced-it-seems-miraculous. There is no supernatural.

Besides, it might even be logically impossible to claim that the creation of the universe was a "natural" event, considering that our definition of "natural" is rooted in the existence of a universe in the first place. You can argue that such event is inherently supernatural (or at least extranatural), regardless of the religious value your give to it.
