If you don't really believe in God but just pretend that you believe coz there's something to gain, then that God knows that you are opportunistic and your belief is not in faith.<br /><br />Newton apart, most of the biologists who write abt evolution don't believe. Carl Sagan says he believes in God if God is the some of all unknowns. Einstein believed in God if God is the sum of all physical/natural laws - gravity etc. So even these guys don't believe in a God that's going to do you favors when you ask for.
