Vexx pretty much put it best. When you step back and try to consider the universe on the vast scale that it really is, that we exist where we are and how we are out of what you might consider as "chance", isn't so difficult to swallow. Science in its various fields of biology, astronomy, particle physics, etc, has ultimately allowed us enough *consistantly verifiable* data about our existance and the universe to know that it, at the very least *does not require* a divine intelligence behind it for things to be as they are.

Even if there was some sort of "godly" power behind it, in all likelyhood, it wouldnt be any of the gods as they are described in any of the worlds various religions because how they have been described does not jive with any of the consistantly verifiable data that we currently have of the universe.
