^ Makes eminent sense to me.Brazilian Marcelo Gleiser -- a theoretical physicist dedicated to demonstrating science and religion are not enemies.
A physics and astronomy professor whose specializations include cosmology, 60-year-old Gleiser was born in Rio de Janeiro, and has been in the United States since 1986.
An agnostic, he doesn't believe in God -- but refuses to write off the possibility of God's existence completely.
"Science can give answers to certain questions, up to a point," Gleiser pointed out.
"This has been known for a very long time in philosophy, it's called the problem of the first cause: we get stuck," the physicist, a father of five, said.
"We should have the humility to accept that there's mystery around us."

Here is how belief breaks down among scientists:
Medical & biological sciences:
Believes in God or theistic higher power - 51%
Atheist or agnostic - 41%
Chemistry:
Believes in God or theistic higher power - 55%
Atheist or agnostic - 39%
Geosciences:
Believes in God or theistic higher power - 50%
Atheist or agnostic - 47%
Physics:
Believes in God or theistic higher power - 43%
Atheist or agnostic - 46%

^^ I have no idea why chemists have a higher level of religious faith. My hypothesis: chemists are not as familiar with cosmology, deep time, and evolution as physicists and geoscientists. IMO, those are the types of scientific questions which are predisposed towards making one think about the philosophy of an ultimate reality and the nature of divinity.
