Im taking out a limb here and say that these physicists need to think real hard about the nature of science and its empirical methods. The problem is that science is real bad at disproving things. I believe its not possible to prove the non existence of a god. Although I personally hold the believe that there is no such thing as a god, I can not prove it. And that is the nature of science; we have no reason to think that a god exists, but is it therefore correct to conclude there is no god?

A very valid point you bring up. To answer your question, I'd say that it isn't correct to conclude the nonexistence of God. I can't prove that there's not a pizza in my oven right now (because I haven't put one) in. But that's not to say there isn't one in there. The possibility exists that a roommate put one in when I didn't notice. Sorry if this is off topic, I've just realized how hungry I am.
