In reply to the discussion: How can a scientist believe in God? [View all]edhopper
(33,575 posts)14. As NDT would say
"God is an ever-receding pocket of scientific ignorance"
So they must place their belief within that pocket.
Though outside their area of study, they can believe what they want without it interfering with there work.
But of course the question would be what they actually believe.
An absent creator is vastly different than the literal God of the Bible, including all the stories there in.
I don't see a question of how can they, I wonder why do they?.

My view - and I am a scientist - is that I don't really know much about anything
