Many first rate scientists stake their reputation that there is no God who created the universe, there isn’t even a cosmic intelligence other that God that is behind the origin of the universe. The universe just happened by chance and its evolution follows predictable patterns based on the properties of matter/energy and chance events like mutations and cosmic collisions, etc.
I often wondered about their position because I would have surmised that it is plain common sense that something so complicated and so well coordinated like the universe composed of atoms, energy, living organisms, to name a few, would have to be guided by an intelligent agent, God or some other intelligent agent.
I wonder, if I had argued a similar position and then, when I die, discover that God really does exist—how would I feel when it is obvious to everyone that God exists? How embarrassed I would be! Everyone who applauded me on Earth would shun me and try to avoid my presence. What excuse did I have, since God did not expect me on earth to stumble upon incontrovertible proof through human effort of his existence? All God expected was that I accept his word. Now that God is plainly in front of me, what is there about God that would make his word unreliable? I would not want to be in that position when it is too late to prove any kind of fidelity to God. Nothing I do after the truth is plainly visible to everyone would make the slightest impression on anybody.
