If it does no harm to keep the possibility in mind, then why not?
I have no problem with that, really. I respect people's believe and I would never tell anyone to stop believing in god. It's just this: As soon as your reasonings get so complicated and sometimes obscure that it doesn't make sense anymore you should change it, really. You can't throw everything humans achieved away just to justify your believe. It doesn't work that way, you have to respect other people's thoughts as well.
As soon as an atheist has no place in your thoughts anymore you're doing something wrong.
Edit: Or maybe look at it from an atheist view: I'm an atheist. I don't believe in god. This believe has grown out of my very own personal opinion. With your statements you're telling me that everything I think is true is completely wrong and my values (which are not "science" or "logic" but human rights, personal freedom, etc. basically the same things you think are important just with another reasoning) should be thrown out of the window because everything was created by god. You completely discredit my views, not because you have a different opinion but because you urgently try to exclude everything that doesn't fit your personal believe.
