Does God believe in scientists?

According to a recent survey of over 1,600 scientists, social scientists are more likely to believe in God and attend worship services than natural scientists, a finding that apparently was the opposite of what was expected.

Some interesting stats here on what kind of scientists is more or less likely to believe in God. For example, of all types of scientists, biologists are most likely to be atheists.

Apparently, that's not all that's on scientists' minds these days. In a Meeting of the Minds of physicists last October, Nobel laureate David Gross outlined 25 questions in science that he thought physics might help answer. He wondered if science would ever be able to measure the onset of consciousness in infants, and by extension, asked the Great Question: What is Consciousness?
