Science vs religion: watch the fight! Atheism, fundamentalism, scepticism and animism, not forgetting nihilism, mysticism and mountain climbing.
What was it Einstein used to say ... 'God doesn't play dice': determinism is absolute ... even if only in a relative way ... did he actually say such thing?
Anyway what's all the fuzz about God nowadays, in America and Moslem countries mostly?
I don't have any problem with her myself, believing she doesn't exist; what does worry me, though, is the congregation of his saints, the living legions of zealots of all creeds ready and eager to take the world apart for the greater glory of their unavowed private phantasms. Help us Freud when Hegel fails?
Yes, I do not believe that God exists; what I do believe is that existence is a much too worldly characteristic to fit an all powerful being standing, or lying, beyond time and space, unwatching and totally aware, principle of all things that will ever be or were. I do not claim total understanding for my various assumptions in daily life but an existence, which doesn't share any materiality with ordinary beings and is nevertheless endowed with actual power and grim humor, is quite beyond my mind.

I'd sooner try to understand String theory and Quantum Mechanics, especially since an expert on this latter field did say that "If you think you understand quantum mechanics, you don't understand quantum mechanics. (Richard Feynman supposedly)". And, of course, knowing that I do not understand them doesn't make me a master of the matter either ... unless I take the Holy shortcut, Revelation ... and then:
"I know! The divine laser hit me and you'd better believe me or I'll hit you! There are 13.7 dimensions, not one inch more, not one inch less. That's the way it is people, and don't you even think of asking why it is that it is this way: obviously it is because that's what I say it is. My way!
If you don't like it go somewhere else, and don't believe it's gonna be any different there either. Tough luck, I am everywhere!"
No way.
I don't even believe god can be a scientific hypothesis unless you are set on making ignorance the future of science. Can anyone just tell me how is a scientist to investigate something which is not a "thing", nowhere to be found and everywhere present, in the darkest black hole and at the core of the friendly nuclear reactions of our warming star, in the void of space and a child's smile ... Eureka! Holy discovery. Rejoice the believers: God is gravity!
- Or, more accurately, dark matter and energy, foundations of gravity, the all-powerful nothinghness whose defining feature is precisely its radical difference with all things human, material, in not so many words, its non-existence ... this estrangement being reversely proven by the numerous benefits often enjoyed by ... be they praised! the blessed believers.
