Of course they are. I am not confusing them.
I am stating that it is completely irrational and even psychotic for a scientist to hold a belief in God the Creator and then refuse to accept that God is relevant to science and Creation.
With God as the ultimate force, He must have a place in science since all paths will ultimately lead to Him.
I am a scientist, an engineer, a technologist and have been in R&D since 1983.
Just because God is the prime force does not mean we stop the science, raise our arms in the air and simply say "God did it" and stop the investigation. Quite the contrary, God encourages me to look deeper and gain more understanding about the workings of nature and to hypothesize how it all was achieved.
God is not magic. To some degree I believe we can understand how he did things. He put into place a system of natural laws that we have yet to come close to understanding.
God was a motivating force for Einstein's science as well, as he said "I want to know His (God's) thoughts. The rest are details."
So to exclude the idea that God was behind creation is irrational, and wholly unscientific. In science we do not rule out any possible solutions simply because our religion prevents us from believing in it. That is what atheists do. They automatically rule out God because their own beliefs cannot handle the concept.
God created us. We scientists must find out how He makes it all work, such as we can
