      Saying the most scientists don’t believe in god is not necessarily true. Just like any profession there are many people who do and many who don’t. It is true there is no scientific evidence which can prove the existence of god but equally there is no evidence disproving the existence of a god. It is something which I wonder about a lot.

      Do I believe in a god… yes I think I do.

      Personally, I don’t, but I have some scientist friends who do.

      That’s a seeking question. The short answer is no, I don’t believe in a God, but I do understand why people have religion. The tricky thing is that there are so many religions believing in different Gods and rules, they can’t all be right. But then being “right” is not always what people are trying to achieve.

      I think there are some questions that science can’t answer. But I don’t believe any organised religion. It would be nice if there were a God. I think.

      I have to agree with the other guys in that your statement is a little bit of an over generalisation. Personally I don’t believe in God but it’s through reasons unrelated to science. On the other hand my former supervisor was a devout creationist so I don’t think that Science and Religion are mutually exclusive.
