How can scientists be sure there is no god?

SCMP Education Mailbag - (Feb 21, 2009)

The article 'Scientists urge excluding God from biology' was quite enlightening. These four 'eminent' scientists are certain there is no god?

I would love to hear how they were able to come to this conclusion? How were they able to ascertain this knowledge?

I hope they will share this amazing discovering with us who naively still believe in the God who created our world.

Professor Sun Kwok admits that 'science is limited to what we can observe because scientific theories have to be tested by experiment or observation. So by definition it is limited'.

But in spite of the limitations he goes on to say intelligent design should not be discussed. Why not? Based on what? A whim? His beliefs? It is obvious that evolution was never nor can be tested or observed. It is simply a theory.

I wonder too, where are the transitional forms? Not in drawings but actual transitional forms? They do not exist, do they?

No one can prove God does not exist. Christians and those who believe there is no God both have a religion. One is based on a creator, the other on self. I know which one I would choose.
