Although I was raised Christian, and still hold these values very dear - the only thing I'm sure about is that many "Deus Ex Machina" thought processes about God seems ludicrous to me (roll out).
I do believe that it is obvious that there is a higher order to the world, and whether this is a result of God is up for debate. The fact that random processes, entropy and enthalpy, thermodynamic stability lead to so much of what is around us, if not everything around us, shows the simplistic beauty of how the world works. That is what I find to be the "higher order" of life - not some 'invisible man' above, but how the universe regulates itself. To me, it seems that this sort of thing is the 'soul' of life.
Now, could this system have been decided upon by a God-figure? Now THERE'S where I find the debate interesting, not whether Jesus was messiah or I'll be reincarnated. No one will know the answers to those questions until it's too late, it's simply blind faith - that's fine in and of itself, but does not make for good argument.
