My God is a formula. My God is the formula through which all our present everything exists. It is E=MC2 mixed with speed of light constant c, and all the concepts of quantum physics.
There are other Gods. Previous Gods who resulted in previous creations and big bangs where E equaled MC cubed, and the speed of light was only as fast as sound. Those existences never worked to create species like us, but those universes had some truly WONDEROUS things in them that I can't even begin to imagine. Animals that spontaneously divided at will. Sentient micro-organisms that could breathe the blackness of space, worm holes inside worm holes, and explosions of light were a frequent source of energy for everything.
Some Gods made the universe out of mint jelly and preserves, and others were lazy and didn't create anything at all because they didn't have enough rules. Some Gods were too excited and used some really crazy ideas like Matter=Energy. Those bigbangs just led right into a hundred other bigbangs instantly, depriving the long line of Gods from getting their chance at creation (who had all been very patiently waiting).
The point is, the Bible got many things right. God IS EVERYTHING. (Well, that's the ONE thing it got right)
That's because he is the math. He is the formula: a long infinite list of complex algorithms and constants strung together in such a way that THIS universe exists. We are simply LUCKY that we, as a species, resulted from this formula, but there will be such life occurring elsewhere, and forever, for all time.
We are not special. We are here. Thank your lucky stars, and stop telling gays they can't marry, you sodden piece of stardust.

I have no doubt that all the secrets of the universe, as we could hope to understand them, boil down to math. I see no reason why math can't be God's tool. How God wields that tool is a mystery we will probably never solve. Evolution can be God's tool for creating life as we know it. Science can only detect what exists in the universe, but God exists beyond it's boarders.
God is why, science is how.
I like the way Michio Kaku refers to Math and God and Einstine's views: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hi6yPJvCFU0
