I know many PhDs in science and engineering (me included).

NONE of my associates is an athiest.

There is truth in the statement that science must necessarily look for reasoning that does not require a supreme being. It must be this way, else serious problems lurk in the boundary points.

However, not requiring God in an equation is not proof that God does not exist.

Never has.

Never will.

And those that claim otherwise might just had cheated on their Logic 101 course.

God is obviously an engineer.

A PhD in engineering and you can’t even spell atheist? (just joking with you)...

Interesting logic. Coupled with the statement, ...However, not requiring God in an equation is not proof that God does not exist...., almost begs the question regarding the sheer probability that prompted such people as Maxwell, Newton, Fourier, Fermat, LaPlace et al to 'invent' what they did. Was it just ordered human thought of exceptional individuals, or was it inspiration of a different order/

As a less scientific example, personally, I believe that our Declaration of Independence and the logical out come of that event, the US Constitution, most certainly was the result of divine inspiration - God-inspired men. I believe other truly worthwhile, lasting disciplines like advances in science are the same.
