I'm trained as a mechanical engineer, into thermodynamics. If you know your thermo, you have to understand that the laws do not in anyway preclude the existence of God, as many claim. As you get into quantum uncertainty, it becomes even more difficult to not believe in a God. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation, but it is certainly a far cry from the academic atheism taught in college.

I'm about 30 years past my college thermo, but I agree with you that the more one studies science, the more one is presented with the notion of God. It's only a question of what one chooses to believe.

You can choose either one without the other, but for me, the combination is unbeatable.

I too have a BS-Physics. I have always believed in God and see no conflict between science and theology. Ahhh, there is a slight conflict. Belief in God is a consensus. Science is fact. That is why algore is so full of BS. He has them backwards.

Hmm
I almost never hear scientists claim that. I hear a lot of them saying they don't believe in God but not that he could not exist.
