Agnostic Help

Hello everyone. This is a very interesting and most welcome site to me! I must say, I am quite taken back at the talk of God and Angels, though. I have been seeing 11 in various forms since 1999 and it's not entirely digital. Clockwise, my experience varies, as I tend to see 11 after the hour, more than 11:11. But, when I do see 11:11 it tends to be startling. The circumstance of the last occurrence (Sunday night) was significant enough to "activate" me. Consequently, here I am posting to this message board.
Over the last couple years I have been of the growing opinion that something has been trying to get my attention, but didn't know what or why. Your answers on this site would corroborate as much, although I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the implications, if what you say is accurate.
Without getting too elaborate, my experiences so far have led me to believe that "God" is not so much a "being" but a kind of "source" that all life, conscious and unconscious, springs from in attempts to evolve. Certainly, I am willing to change my mind. In terms of literal Christianity, I am a nonbeliever. I harken to its truths, but readily dismiss some of it as lies; particularly, God's portrayal in the OT. I know the word Angel means "messenger," but I also see references here to biblical characters, such as Adam and Eve? Is all biblical reference considered factual? I am supposing I'm here to learn and I am most willing. Consider me not so much a Doubting Thomas, but a Logical Joe. I don't always need to see, but I do need to understand in order to believe.
An ever-stalking "11" and sporadic OBE's have led me here. I welcome all help and criticism. Thank you.
