These discussions, and your post especially gracie, always remind me of one of my favorite quotes, taken from The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell. Speaking of a priest in the book, she says...
"He was aware of his agnosticism, and patient with it. Rather than deny the existence of something he couldn't perceive himself, he acknowledged the authenticity of his uncertainty and carried on, praying in the face of his doubt."
