Heh, when they come up with a better explanation of how life began, I will listen. Otherwise, it is all just a hope fest... Scientists will be scientists until they confront the facts... Life is unexplainable regardless of their theories.

I don't agree with all of its conclusions, but it is a good read and pops some very popular myths.
I don't know if they were God loving, more God aware. In my study of scientist and their belief in God, I find that the only one, in a historical context, to ever Acknowledge Jesus was Newton. As for Einstein, his only acknowledgement in a supreme being was a short statement about God "God does not play dice with the Universe." Other than that he had little to say about God, and nothing about Jesus.
As a layman, I cant look at the universe without seeing evidence of God.

Who created God?
No one created God. That’s why he’s, you know, God.
RE: Who created God?
Here’s the dictionary definition of God I picked up :
the supernatural being conceived as the perfect and omnipotent and omniscient originator and ruler of the universe. One who always exists, eternal, without beginning and without end; the object of worship in monotheistic religions.
Based on that definition, the question is like — who created the one who always exists, is eternal, without beginning and without end.
You mean gravity can’t create out of nothing the celestial bodies necessary for gravity to exist in the first place? I guess there really is no free lunch.
“Why are these people so afraid of God?”
They don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. So they try to make their problem go away by pretending that He does not exist.
