Does Science not need God? (only if it doesn’t want to be scientific)

The Pew Research Center in 2009 published an article stating that the great majority of Scientists did not believe in God. Ratzinger had suggested in Introduction to Christianity that between the Believer and the Unbeliever there is a connection. Typically neither is completely one hundred percent, completely sure of one’s position. God’s existence is first of all mysterious. Noted from all tribes and every empire the divine was divine in great part because of its unknowability. Scientists are focused on the knowable facts. Scientists should know that “higher power” or “universal spirit” are simply that “higher” or “universal” and therefore spiritual and beyond their capacities to know through experimentation and cannot be measured by any instrument. So how can a scientist who knows that a “higher” power exists or does not exist? How can anyone know whether or not God exists? We’ll go back to that one later. But the genuine Scientist would at least admit as Socrates once admitted “I only know that I do not know”. Scientist qua scientist a scientist should say “My scientific knowledge is incapable of knowing God’s existence. I am a scientist. Why come to me with this question? My knowledge can only access the theoretic facts that we hypothesize utilizing a man-made scientific method and is constrained to what can be measured in a lab or on the field. Furthermore it has been proven that our work can easily be skewed. Research shows that we will be researching ad infinitum and always be discovering the Truth. Please consult a Philosopher or a Theologian regarding the matter”. Furthermore as we “objectify” and weaponize the Truth we do not seek it for its own sake but rather for our benefit and utility. Aha! That is a source of great bias. If we seek answers for our benefit we are now inclined to skew the answers towards great benefit. As the moralists do.
