Do you not find it amusing how the overwhelming number of atheists populating the world of Science cannot resist interpreting every new discovery as further proof that God does not exist? For example, they say life sprang up on the Earth not by God's hand but by the interaction of certain complex molecules deposited here through the collisions of comets, and mediated by a bath of Earth's warm water, essential to help the compounds of life form properly. Ergo, since it was a "fortuitous" or "random" congregation of factors, it couldn't have been God.
Science is godless because their concept of God is as outdated as the idea of an Earth-centric Universe. I count myself among those called "theists." I believe in God but I have no particular interest in organized religion of any kind. I subscribe to the first Chapter of Genesis, but the rest of The Bible is a history of early man and his relationship with a living, breathing Lord. Advanced as he (or they) may have been, they were none-the-less human. So, according to this writer, who or what is the "real" God who Science has yet to recognize?
Put very simply, God is The First Cause and Everything That Is. Every cubic inch of space in the Universe, every galaxy, you and me, every atom, every sub-atomic particle, every force, energy vibration on every wavelength, is God. If there was (and this is a very, very big "if") - if there was a Big Bang, it was initiated by the Force of God, by His Will. Does "official" Science have a better explanation for how the Big Bang was initiated, and what was before it? None better than "God did it." So it is here, at the very instant of the Creation of our Universe, that Science and God ultimately collide.
God does not directly interfere in the matters of men, that is, He doesn't walk among us and direct our actions. But at the very Beginning, He initiated the Laws of Physics. Everything which happened since is as a direct result of this initial push. We humans were given Free Will, a unique attribute in all the Universe, to find our own Destinies, however God's Laws of Physics cannot be countermanded. God imposes His Will into our realm by working through the subatomic fields - fluctuations in these fields work their way up through the magnitudes of scale till they manifest themselves in our physical world. As His gift of grace, this interaction is two-way. Thus we can tap into God's Realm through meditation and prayer. It is not the form of prayer or the particular petition which matters, it's the very act of prayer and supplication which produces the connection and can (I say "can" because it doesn't always) result in beneficial effects.
On the other hand, the consequences of man's continual disregard for God's common sense laws may come slowly but when they come they are terrible and they are usually unmerciful. "Bad luck" or "misfortune" or "disaster" are consequences of our disregard for His commands. It is unfortunate that often the innocent are caught in the wave of punishment; these poor unfortunates are caught in the merciless shockwave brought on by the flaunting of the God of the Universe by the societies in which they live.
I can opine on the God of the Bible - the one which Science can't seem to get past - if anyone wishes. But for now, try to read deep into these words I have said. The bad things you increasingly see happening around you every day will result in serious consequences for us. A Law of Physics posits that every action has an equal and opposite reaction: try to move a wall by pushing hard against it, and you will find yourself moving backwards. God has the same exact law.
