 I can just as easily say that I believe in creation because species
 seem to have a common design. This best explains the existance of such
 complex structures as a brain, heart, and sexual reproduction organs.
 Biological evolution seems inadequate for the development of emotions
 and the ability to reason. In fact, a metaphysical explanation for them
 is required. Can you describe the physical development of love, hate, or
 joy? What were these emotions before they evolved into the present ones?
 Did man "reason" just a little at first, than "reason" a lot later?
 Yes, evolution has it's answers to these questions. But, are they more
 or less reasonable? More or less rational or logical? I believe they are
 not. In fact, they are very incomplete. Is any naturalistic hypothesis
 superior than a supernatural one just because it is naturalistic?

 Sounds to me like you want to believe in Evolution! I guess that makes
 us the same!
