I look at the big bang as Gods start button... lol
always have.
Me too-
I am not very formally religious, but I do believe in God. This kind of science certainly doesn't rule out or preclude the existence of God.
And something needs to be said about the use of the word "God" in the context of physics. It is used in the most non-literal sense possible. "God does not play dice" is a quote Einstein had-concerning the quantum uncertainty theory. He wasn't really talking about "God." He was talking about an area of the unknown that most people would attribute to God.
So- when scientists talk of a "God particle," it is very tongue in cheek. It is really not a religious thing at all-just a poorly crafted catch phrase.
