You wonder, then, why scientists have such a problem with religion. Why is one brand of incredulity better than another?
You know, that is exactly what I was thinking when reading this article. It speaks to an infinite universe. If scientists are fully capable of believing in the concept of the infinite, then why would the concept of an infinite creator be so hard for some of them to swallow? Infinite universe is a difficult concept to wrap one's mind around, just as is the concept of an infinite God. Why one would be an acceptable concept and the other not, is beyond my mortal comprehension.
I think Michio Kaku, author of "Hyperspace", fits into that category, judging by his quips and quotes in the book: "Therefore, unicorns do not necessarily have to exist. And neither does God".
I skipped most of those sections, but it is a useful book overall.
