"The next question is: what does theory have to do with God?"

Beyond the etymology of the word, nothing.

"Do we become a bit like God when we understand a theory (a correct one, that is)?"

Well, you are talking to an atheist so you might as well ask me if we become a bit more like Thor. Simple answer, no, although I would like to get my hands on Mjolnir.

When we understand a theory, we are a little less ignorant, no more no less.

“Well, you are talking to an atheist ...”

Are you an atheorist too? 8^)
