It's not the job of a scientist to confirm or deny the existence of God. I thought we learned five hundred years ago, when we tried to burn other scientists for saying things like "the earth is round" or "the earth rotates around the sun," that religion's repression of science is a bad thing. It's a frightening world when people think it's OK to see science as a bad, scary thing when we humans, in the name of religion, have slaughtered so many due to our ignorance. Let's believe in God, and let's have science too.

Definitely no.
If God wanted all people to blindly accept Him, nobody could prevent Him from taking back man's free will or to deny that divine bestowal to us at the beginning of His creation.
The denial of all the universe would not cause any effect to the eternal existence of the One True God and His bountiful grace to all His worlds of creation and revelation.
It's due to our lack of divine knowledge from the Messengers of God, we fear everything that consequently leads us to suspecting and hating each other and also His creatures. We have destroyed so many species whose names are now recorded in our regretful red book.
His Messengers constantly love all and constantly teach us the divine love in order that we may repent and thankfully recognize the One True God, our most-bountiful Creator.

Ok, Quick lesson on the Bill of Rights, namely the first amendment to the constitution.
*"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion" (in otherwords, NO STATE CHURCH OR STATE SPONSORED RELIGIOUS BELIEFS),
*"or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" (No one can legally stop you from practicing your faith, as long as you don't harm or infringe upon the rights of others);
*"or abridging the freedom of speech" (you can speak your mind, no matter how unpopular your view is. You just can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater)
*"or of the press" (as much as the Bush administration hates this, they can't tell you what not to write)
*"or the right of the people peaceably to assemble" (you have the right to gather and protest the government)
* "and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." (in otherwords, you have the right to write your representitives and tell them what you think they should be doing) "
so to answer your question, NO! This is a free country! if you want to live in a Theocracy, feel free to go to Iran. .
Get a clue!

Nah. By the time you file the environmental impact reports for the pyres and petrol, they'd all be dead of old age.
As for France, why do you like France so much? You have technology investments there, yes?
Nice question. Keep'em coming.

Are you a Christian asking this question? If so then you are no better than all the Atheists or devil worshipers. You think all those poor people burned at the stake said "oh me next, please". Get a life and ask a really good question next time.

I'd like to think we've grown as a society and that we are no longer run by the Catholic Church. Why must you religious people be so murderous? And you wonder why there is all this hate and war in the world. It's because of people like you. You must believe in some evil demented god if you actually believe that.

It's funny because the scientists that deny God cannot describe how the universe was created. Science has absolutely no clue where the materials, elements and atoms came from that were created >>>> And what introduced these materials to the energy?

I deny the existance of God and I am not a scientist. I say people who believe in God should have their heads examined.
