Physicists today, he says, are not supposed to believe in God.

BZZZTTT! Wrong! Who came up with this ignorant statement? Most of the great thinkers of the past were quite devout. Although I never became or will become a great physicist, I am still a Christian and faithful believer. One can't look deeply into the structure of the cosmos and the nature of reality and not be moved at a spiritual level. No, I don't believe in the Genesis story; but to me, that is a matter or getting beyond Sunday School Lessons and into a mature Christian relationship with God.

A mature relationship with God is rooted in reading His word, and accepting it as truth.

If you don’t believe Genesis, then you don’t believe God.

If you don’t believe Him, you don’t have a deep mature Christian relationship.

Ok, let me get this straight. I'm confused, are you insinuating you don't take God's word literally, or a Sunday School teacher's lesson about Genesis?

I believe to have a mature relationship with God childlike faith is a character trait he has requested?

Carl Sagan said the (nearly) the very same thing, and continued by saying that the cosmos is all there is, was, and will be. That we are made of this star-stuff, and that’s why we have a yearning to know more about it.
