George,
That is an interesting theory, although I do not prescribe to it. I indeed have a deep awe and respect for the universe and not only its grandure, but its beauty and simplicity as well. I do not assume to know what some of the great scientific minds of the past and present believe, nor do I base my beliefs on what someone else believes (that sort of defeats the scientific process of gathering knowledge). I mentioned the beliefs of other scientific minds simply because I am aware that they are smarter than I am. If their purpose for claiming a belief in God had an underlying motive, then I would not be able to prove or disprove that. I do know however what I have learned and seen for my own eyes. I find that the more I study science and physics, the fewer coincodinces I find. Simply looking at electromagnetic theory and gravitational theory alone (let alone quantum and the less classical approach to physics) leads me to believe that something had planned the laws that govern the universe - they were not simply thrown together at random!
