I don't know why it has to be "either you believe in god or you believe in science". That mindset makes religion dangerous. It's okay to interpret genesis as a parable that vaguely explains the big bang and development of life on earth. "Let there be light" = big bang. "Let there be sky" can mean the creation of the universe. "Let there be dry land" can be the gathering of stellar dust into planets and stars. "Let the water be gathered into once place" can mean the solidifying of the crust and the settling of the tectonic plates, separating the land from the water. "Let there be grass and plants" can be the development of microorganisms. "Let there be lights in the sky" can mean the clearing of the atmosphere of all the crap that the previous volcanoes and meteor strikes created. "Let the water team with living creatures" the microorganisms become more complex, evolving into fish. Then land animals. Then man. It all matches up with the real story.
Not only that, but according to Genesis, when god cast Adam and Eve from Eden, a part of their punishment was actually "life is gonna be tough". (Gen. 3:14-24). I don't know where you got the idea that the earth is supposed to be perfectly harmonious and perfect for humans, but it's not the bible.
Just because I'm an atheist doesn't mean I don't know religion.

Love is an emotional response the stems from a combination of biochemicals and thought processes brought about by the proper stimulation.
