By 'intensely researching' do you mean at the university level? Or reading a bunch of pseudoscience websites and some popular science books written for the layman?
Here's a question for you.
Why are the scientists that actually understand the fields you are 'intensely researching', working in those fields everyday, dedicated their lives to studying, overwhelmingly atheists? 72% of them in the latest study. 92% of the elite scientists in the National Academy of Science.
What evidence are you, some random, non-scientist internet poster able to see that the majority of scientists aren't?
I have been researching at a graduate level using peer reviewed sources. Despite your claim, many respected scientists are agnostic. Tyson actually did a lecture on intelligent design where he encouraged people to spend more time focusing on why some (25% he claims) of the most respected scientist are not completely denying the possibility of intelligent design, because that's where things are getting very interesting.
