A scientist can ignore God. But the scientist studies a real world, which is sustained only by God. When you send forth your spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground. I believe that you can't really understand science without considering God. . . .
Science is based on the denial of miracles.
So science is based on the denial of God. God is invisible. And God is dependable. So the scientist does not need to beg God to sustain the rule of the Schr dinger equation over every atom in his laboratory. God performs that role without our asking.
