Actually, many do. I want to be a scientist and prove how God does things. It's freaking awesome.
God Bless

That's a rather broad generalization!
Like saying "Why do religious people charm snakes" when only a few do in the south in specific cultish type churches.
The bible is primarily composed of stories written 100 or more years after the fact by people that could not have possibly experienced it for real. Then these stories were translated by many cultures and into many different languages. Each put their own views into it.
It's difficult to support a statement that the bible is fact when you know these facts.
I'm not bible bashing or religion bashing... but we should all know the facts before we start bashing every scientist on earth for choosing to not believe in a story book.

there is no such thing as scientific proof. Science is merely observation, where certain things are observed to be the same way over and over again, which either supports a hypothesis or it doesn't. And, it's ok for science to be wrong, because that allows it to grow, to correct itself. The bible was written by people and it can't change, except for errors as it gets translated. I don't really have the time to read it, although I'm sure it has a lot of helpful information in it.

Many scientists de believe in God...just very few of them believe in the fundamentalist, literalistic version.
As for the Bible, what proof is there that the things in it are true? There is no physical evidence of a worldwide flood, not of a mass migration from Egypt to Cannaan (History channel notwithstanding). There are no extra-Biblical sources for any of the claimed events in the Bible, so how can anyone be expected to believe them?

If you did some research, you'd be surprised how many scientists believe in God. They are just not favorites of Time and Scientific Journal.
The real question is, what is a scientist?

More scientists are becoming believers when confronted by the obvious. Notice the article at http://www.gnmagazine.org/issues/gn65/earth.htm I believe it's too much preoccupation with the "scientific method" that blinds some scientists from seeing the obvious.

Many scientists believe in God actually. Albert Einstein really, really believed in God. he was the Genius. The truth is, they are so blown away by science that many don't believe a higher being is capable of creating such a complex and perfect universe. Plus, if you rely on evidence for everything, and is difficult to understand faith.
Einstein said if you don't believe in spirits you are as good as dead, Paraphrasing.

There are scientists who believe in God. Charles Darwin, for example, believed in God. Also, the Bible has been modified so many times, so it is kind of hard to believe EVERYTHING in the Bible.

Mother Goose's fairy tales prove Mother Goose existed if that's your basis for "proof."
The bible is a book of mythology and has no credibility.
Most scientists do not believe in God. Einstein was an atheist. He used the word "God" to mean "mother nature," not a supernatural ""Creator" God.

Only 40% of scientists were atheists back in 1914 and believers have been increasing since then. And there are specific branches in science involving god and the link between him and man.
