My mind is too small to comprehend God, by definition. Particle physics, among many things, is a mystery to me--but that does not mean God is hiding there. I'll pull a pretty good quote of off wiki: "God was invented to explain mystery. God is always invented to explain those things that you do not understand. Now, when you finally discover how something works, you get some laws which you're taking away from God; you don't need him anymore. But you need him for the other mysteries. So therefore you leave him to create the universe because we haven't figured that out yet; you need him for understanding those things which you don't believe the laws will explain, such as consciousness, or why you only live to a certain length of time -- life and death -- stuff like that. God is always associated with those things that you do not understand. Therefore I don't think that the laws can be considered to be like God because they have been figured out." — Richard Feynman, quoted by P.C.W. Davies and J. Brown in Superstrings: A Theory of Everything, p. 208. en.wikiquote.org Still, when I was going through confirmation and all that, back when I was a practicing Lutheran, I didn't find anything too objectionable about faith. And then, I lost it. Very infrequently, I think I imagine that I find God in nature. But the feeling is fleeting.
