Do you know quantum mechanics? What is popularly known, is that quantum theory is the most successful scientific theory ever; that no experiment ever performed in quantum mechanics failed to match prediction, only see what I did just there?
There is at least eighteen flavors of quantum theory floating around. Do you know which one I just referenced? What I'm not seeing is how a scientist is going to come to an atheist form and hint at a creator and not get rude remarks.
There's emergence to consider. Of course, if you're an IDiot, emergence is the last word you want to hear.
