Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins, the terrible twins of modern scientific materialism, who regularly make fools of religious leaders stupid enough to publicly debate them on their own stage, seem to have put to rest the notion that there is a God. They assert that the idea of a God or many gods is so much pablum used to comfort a baby as it grows; but once in adulthood is no longer needed.
My question: Are the terrible twins right; is there no god? Or is it that science is inadequate to the task of defining something "beyond time and space" and they are little more than sophisticated doubting Thomases enthrawled with the ability to describe the elephant, but missing the bigger picture?
How would you fare against the terrible twins?

Saying everything began with the big bang is about like saying everything began on the factory floor.
"a person I heard of, prayed to God & asked "If you are God, who created you?" to which God replied, "I dont know, as far as I know i've always existed!"True story, wrap your head around that one!"
You can never know God as God through other people's words. If this being is truly of a much higher order, than no human being would be up to the task of recording of what he had to say or preaching his word.
I like to take things at face-value and appreciate what's in front of me. And I welcome any surprises beyond.
