Okay... Reading posts like this one drive me absolutely insane...
1.) You speak of the scientific method, do you? Well, I've said this over and over and over again in the past, but one more time can't hurt. Did you know that a lack of evidence for existence isn't the same thing as evidence of non-existence (Probably not). A lack of evidence for existence is, simply put, a lack of evidence for existence. If you believe that God doesn't exist because science has never observed him, then you'd also agree with this statement: "Aliens don't exist because we've never seen one."
2.) Anyone with an introductory course in logic would be able to tell you that there's nothing illogical about a belief in God. For as long as you accept that He exists, then any argument you could possibly make about God existence would always--
ALWAYS-- Be true.
