Yes but why couldn't it (the big bang) have just happened due to some law of physics we don't know anything about? Sorry, still doesn't mean there is a god. Of course there's a dog, Jackie! Just look at your avatar (not a pretty sight...) (Ouch! she's got her handbag aswinging again!) OY! Don't you start. Swing Swing.

Religion is for those who are not comfortable with 'not knowing' whereas scientists are very comfortable with 'not knowing'. They have the added bonus of being nosey.

Meny eminent scientists are religious and believe in a biblical god. Einstein was one of them. My take on that is that some people are clever enough to know that in the grand order of things humans can be compared to an ant looking at a microwave oven. The ant will know it can see something, but it’s never going to work out what it is or how it works, or how it happens to be there. And once you understand that your not that clever after all (even though you have a telephone number IQ) you can accept that something is going on that whilst you cant understand it, none the less it is there. So you give it a name i.e. God.

The great physicist wrote to the philosopher Eric Gutkind in 1954, a year before his death at age 76, suggesting he had serious problems with organised religion. "The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends, which are nevertheless pretty childish," he wrote.
Yea, dead religious.
Science purports that everything has an explanation. However, we may not ever get to the stage of explaining everything as the human race will be gone before everything is explained. Scientists do not need to explain everything but know that they will enjoy themselves trying. It is the religious that have the need to explain everything hence the irrational belief systems that they hold on to.
Having a high IQ does not necessarily make you clever.

Think it was Einstein said "Science without religion is lame; religion without science is blind"
