Is there a God, even if we can’t quite agree on everything that this God is like or purposed upon? And can we agree that we ought to at least try to find out more about that God?

There hasn't been any assertion on this thread by anyone that there is not, and as far as I know everyone here has expressed a belief in God at one time or another. The only expressions of atheism have been attempts to implicitly impute it onto other.

Nobody complains when we can’t all come up with identical explanations of the universe, that this means there isn’t a universe or that we shouldn’t try to find out more about the universe.

Read the article. Complaining that we all don't come up with identical explanations of the universe (heresy) is how it started, and appears to be the whole point of the thread.

We have a problem when we want to say there is a God and yet that God just sits in a corner only having to do with THIS part of the universe and not THAT.

I would agree that slinging charged and loaded words around isn’t helpful here. Equating acceptance or rejection of a point of theology to acceptance or rejection of God as a whole (in this mortal coil) is wrong. One of the difficult lessons of salvation is that we need it (yup, we’ve all gone wrong) and it ain’t finished till we’re outta here.

A God that DID create is the most fundamental thing. Then discussions of how God created and what bears witness to that creation, can follow.
