Not at all. Wouldnt that be silly?
Dawkins says. 'When you consider the beauty of the world and you wonder how it came to be what it is, you are naturally overwhelmed, with a feeling of, awe, a felling of admiration and you almost feel a desire to worship something, I feel this and I recognise that other scientists such as; Carl Sagan feel this, Einstien felt it. We all of us share a kind of religous reverence for the beauties of the universe, for the complexity of life, for the sheer magnitude of the cosmos, the sheer magnitude of the geological time. And its tempting translate that feeling of awe and worship into a desire to worship a particular thing, a person, an agent, you want to attribute it to a maker, to a creator.'

Ah right. Well, that's nothing to do with a relationship just feelings. Feelings != truth. And besides, speaking for myself, I don't find i want to attribute it all to a maker. I tend to think "what an amazing place the universe is" and happy to leave it at that. If there is a maker, then its certainly not the god of the bible. Any such maker would be much more interested in the universe as a whole than this piddling little ball of rock in an unfashionable backwater of an insignificant galaxy.
