"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."

So, what you are claiming is that all scientists are at least agnostics and none are atheists. That is clearly not the case, in fact it is an impossibility. You cannot have agnostic atheists, they are either one or the other, so your statement makes no sense.

Your existence as a human proves sentient beings exist. Since some humans are smarter than others, one must conclude that it is possible that sentient human beings can exist that are greater than the greatest sentient human.

I look at the universe and I see an entity that can remember it's past (we can see back to the big bang), has the ability to predict it's future (based on conservative laws), has a nervous system of photon rays, has a sense of self (is not self annihilating). That to me is either God, or more likely some dimensional slice of God.

In short, to be an atheist is to be not so bright a bulb as one imagines.

That was a seriously non-sequitur response.
I related what I have heard scientists say.

You claimed I had said something about all scientists and then made an illogical response based on something I didn't say. You might want to take another look.
