Many, many brilliant scientists see no conflict between god/science

ok but far more of the worlds brilliant minds take the opposite view (last I checked, its something like 85-15). Who's more likely to be right?
Also, ask yourself this: when you couple survival instinct with linguistic intelligence and awareness of one's own impending death, what is one outcome you're likely to see in a large portion of the population?

I am not speaking about myself, again I am speaking about top scientists who are at the forefront of their fields coming to these conclusions.
Additionally, there are many questions that science is unable to answer, among them Why are we here? Or, what is the meaning of life? Francis Collins, who led the Human Genome Project, puts it this way:
"ROCKVILLE, Maryland (CNN) -- I am a scientist and a believer, and I find no conflict between those world views.
As the director of the Human Genome Project, I have led a consortium of scientists to read out the 3.1 billion letters of the human genome, our own DNA instruction book. As a believer, I see DNA, the information molecule of all living things, as God's language, and the elegance and complexity of our own bodies and the rest of nature as a reflection of God's plan.
I did not always embrace these perspectives. As a graduate student in physical chemistry in the 1970s, I was an atheist, finding no reason to postulate the existence of any truths outside of mathematics, physics and chemistry. But then I went to medical school, and encountered life and death issues at the bedsides of my patients. Challenged by one of those patients, who asked "What do you believe, doctor?", I began searching for answers.
I had to admit that the science I loved so much was powerless to answer questions such as "What is the meaning of life?" "Why am I here?" "Why does mathematics work, anyway?" "If the universe had a beginning, who created it?" "Why are the physical constants in the universe so finely tuned to allow the possibility of complex life forms?" "Why do humans have a moral sense?" "What happens after we die?" (Watch Francis Collins discuss how he came to believe in God Video)
I had always assumed that faith was based on purely emotional and irrational arguments, and was astounded to discover, initially in the writings of the Oxford scholar C.S. Lewis and subsequently from many other sources, that one could build a very strong case for the plausibility of the existence of God on purely rational grounds. My earlier atheist's assertion that "I know there is no God" emerged as the least defensible. As the British writer G.K. Chesterton famously remarked, "Atheism is the most daring of all dogmas, for it is the assertion of a universal negative."

"Atheism is the most daring of all dogmas, for it is the assertion of a universal negative."
That's a silly thing to say.
1. It falsely assumes that some sort of perfect factual knowledge is necessary. But many conceptions of gods entail contradiction. There's no need to search under every rock in the universe to realize A and not-A are incompatible.
2. Not all atheism is positive atheism. Negative atheism exists and isn't subject to that objection.

No spaceporn here but preftigious scientists are 93% atheist/agnostic
