I believe in evolution, but I think a lot of things deemed vestigial can often not be quite as vestigial as we think. There's still a lot we don't understand about biology
2. Through quantum physics, there's been massive support that particles can form out of nothing, somewhat showing that the universe could be uncaused. What do you think about this?
But where did those quantum physics come from?
3. Do you believe that a higher entity indeed created us entirely or rather that an entity planted the seeds for our growth and we simply evolved over time? Or is it that your religion is simply a spiritual quest and does not conform to the views of a Christian God?
I think of God as someone who set things in motion but will also do things manually from time to time
4. God is often depicted in a human form, explained by people's needs to make God relatable to them. Do you think this is right or is the idea of 'god' simply a force outwith our comprehension?
Well the bible says humankind was created in God's image, but I'm not sure how literal that is. I think God could be a spirit beyond human comprehension

Pretty much my views with only slightly different wording I'd say. I will add that I believe God allowed us to grow over the x amount of years the world has been created but would step in quite a bit early on in earliest time to kind of guide the people. Today I think He keeps a watchful eye over everything but never "steps in". Trying to avoid the inevitable argument, people say "How can God watch and not do anything when there is so much war in this world?" and so forth. God gave us life and let us create, for example, "war", to step in now I think... I don't really know how to word it. I guess I can compare it to raising a dog for ten years and then deciding one day you don't really like the dog and then deciding to throw it away and start over with a new dog even though you've allowed the dog to get comfortable over that time.
Practically the same exact answers I would have given though.
