Well that's a better response , though in fact the truth of America going back to the 1950's when the repsonse to the question of whether you believed God almost tops 99% ...the truth still today that same fundamentalist thinking ties in with almost an infatuation with getting too comfortable with "The Truth" and "Trusting in God" which most certainly has not been working out . (or the trust in those that govern whether Obama or Dubya ) Its completely misleading to think that its the fault of this looming Secular movement towards atheism , which frankly i do not see the slightest battle being waged or threatening . Certainly Nixon had Billy Graham at his side and Reagan had Jerry Falwell and there's never been one Athesist ever elected to high office of any kind. Its totally missleading that all these physicists have on their minds is to undermine Religious belief in God & miracles , they just do the work.... as noted here with this brilliant fellow Neil Turok that proposes the following that the Catholic Church has a problem with for all the too obvious reasons : Physicist Neil Turok: Big Bang Wasn't the Beginning wired.com Wired: The Catholic Church hasn't been very receptive to your ideas, either. Turok: I think they like the Big Bang for obvious reasons. It's a creation event, and they find that appealing. Whereas if you talk to most physicists, they'd prefer that there was not a creation event, because there are no laws of physics that indicate how time could begin. I'm not motivated by [theological considerations]. I'd be perfectly happy with a mathematically precise description of how time began. I see science and religion as being two completely different things. I don't see science as relevant to the question of whether or not there's a God. If the world is cyclical, in a sense you still need a policeman to enforce the laws of physics. If you need a God to do that, fine -- but I think that's a belief in why the world is the way it is. Science studies how the world operates, not why it's here.
