The experiment described in the above link allows scientists to observe the full life cycle of a photon, from coming into existence due to random fluctuations in the quantum vacuum, to its annihilation about a tenth of a second later.
I suppose a theist could argue that this is the hand of God in the act of creation. Personally I see it as a very accessible demonstration of uncaused existence. Who needs a creator when existence itself is random, uncaused, a matter of probability rather than determinism?
