Does God Exist?
Some Scientists Answer
PHYSICS professor Ulrich J. Becker, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, stated when commenting on the existence of God: "How can I exist without a creator? I am not aware of any compelling answer ever given."
Did this contradict his scientific views? The professor's thought-provoking answer was, "If you discovered how one wheel in the 'clock' turns—you may speculate how the rest move, but you are not entitled to call this scientific and better leave alone the question of who wound up the spring."
Contrary to the opinion of some, many respected men of science do not rule out the idea of there being a God—a Great Mastermind behind the creation of the universe and man.
Consider two more examples on this point. When mathematics professor John E. Fornaess, of Princeton University, was asked for his thoughts on the existence of God, he replied: "I believe that there is a God and that God brings structure to the universe on all levels from elementary particles to living beings to superclusters of galaxies."
Physics professor Henry Margenau, of Yale University, said that he was convinced that the laws of nature were created by God, adding: "God created the universe out of nothing in an act which also brought time into existence." He then noted that in the book The Mystery of Life's Origin, three scientists explain that a Creator is a plausible explanation for life's origin. Supporting this view, astronomer Fred Hoyle has stated that believing the first cell originated by chance is like believing that a tornado ripping through a junkyard full of Boeing 747 airplane parts dismembered and in disarray could produce a 747.
To these answers can be added the words of the Bible writer Paul: "[God's] invisible qualities are clearly seen from the world's creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship."—Romans 1:20.

No -- "faith" in anything is superstition, and is not supported by reason or logic.
Acceptance of overwhelming evidence that shows the facts of nature -- that's great. That's logical, reasonable. It doesn't require "belief" or "faith" of any kind, which is good -- anytime you start believing in something without evidence to support it, you start down a road that leads to nothing but trouble.
Accepting the universe as it is doesn't require any faith...just a little education and knowledge. These are good things :)
Peace.

Faith in the universe is not possible. We have evidence the universe exists. Faith is belief without evidence.

There is a God and yeah I guess you should have some faith in the universe after all God created it. Yeah I will defiantly pray that you get to know God and realize that all you need is to put your faith in Him. God Bless and have a wonderful day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The universe is right there. You don't need faith, just a pair of eyes and a good telescope for the really far away bits.

No need. The universe exists whether or not you think it does. There's no need for faith when you have evidence.

Since there is not a watchmaker should I worship my timex? What a stupid question. Worship what is made without questioning who made it. Billions of people are telling you there is a God and you ask if you should worship the creation? Go ahead, its called paganism. It is the natural state for our fallen minds, its easy. If you ever want the truth, look as far as you want at the creation and then ask who made it.

You are left with this last resort, this and putting faith in your fellow man. It's not all that bad, at least while you're here.
