Galileo Galileo was a Christian, George LeMaitre, the man who proposed the big bang theory was a devote Belgian priest, Professor Hawking keeps referring to God in his book “A brief history of time”. If people who have taken deep scientific thought about the universe believe in God why are their learners on this forum want to use their views to doubt the existence of the Creator?

Much of what is called science nowadays is false. The deepest students of science are constrained to recognize in nature the continual working of infinite power. This is what it means to be a true scientist.
Many are seeking to bring the mysteries of God within the compass of their finite reasoning. Thousands become infidels because their finite minds cannot comprehend the mysteries of God. They cannot explain the wonderful exhibition of divine power in His works, therefore they reject the evidences of such power, attributing them to natural agencies which they can comprehend still less!
The only key to the mysteries that surround us is to acknowledge in them all the presence and power of God. Romans 1:20.

Well older scientists didn't have the same access to data. Science is becoming overwhelmingly non-religious. The National Academy of Science is 93% now. Scientists in general it is about 60%.
I've read several of Dr. Hawking's books and he is not religious, and any references to a god are meant in a Pantheistic way. He is an atheist. Einstein had a similar outlook. Christians tend to take any reference to any god and try to turn that into their idea of God. It really doesn't fit in context.

Because God doesn't exist?
Naming a few scientists (oh and Hawking's 'god' is of the deist kind at best) does nothing to change this fact as atheists are not interested in arguments from authority, besides. Most of the scientists who have ever lived were unaware of evolution. Do a survey on modern biologists and see how many believe in God.
Believing in a creator at all is really something for a child-like mentality.

I've read Hawkings book and I don't recall feeling that he was professing any real faith in any deity...more that he was saying you don't have to give up your faith to understand how science works. Subtle difference there.
But why does it matter if the discovers were of a faith?
Religions still don't make any sense whatsoever.

I believe in God and in Jesus because I have seen Him turning my life, answering my prayers, being there for me when no one was there and also gave me the Holy Spirit which Jesus promised to send.
