Locked pending moderation. The constant pushing of a single god, and certain other statements is too close to pushing a certain religion. The arguments of a single god concept can be upsetting to those that do not hold this belief and is not appropriate in this discussion. Perhaps we need to to be less specific and just replace the concept of a "god" with "supernatural beings" so that there is no bias. Even better, let's stop bringing up "gods" altogether. For some, being spiritual doesn't even require a supernatural being, and that is their "religion".
Religion is highly personal, and pushing this idea of a single god as creator can be offensive to people that don't hold this view. People of many religions as well as non-religious are members here and we need to be considerate and not push any specific views.
The title of this thread is "Can a Modern Scientist Be Religious?". That is appropriate.
