Since so many people here are discussing god in the context of the the big bang:
I once read that in the early days of the big bang theory, many scientists were rejecting the idea simply because they felt it would reintroduce "god" to science. They thought it had certain resemblences to the religious story of the creation of the universe and would again suggest a god/demiurg, just when they thought science had finally been freed from religious beliefs/dogmas.
I found that very interesting/funny, given that nowadays, people seem to think quite the opposite:
that it's either the big bang theory OR god, and that the big bang is something like a definite proof that god doesn't exist.
