Dear Houssam,
Thanks for the important questions.
First, the theories of the universe
and its origins that you mention
are basically theories of
what is and of how it may have
evolved. Nowhere in these theories
is God rejected. In fact, these theories
point to the necessity of God as
being the Source, Origin, and First
Cause of all that is.
Science doesn't
mention God because that which is
above or outside of physics is above
and outside of the scientific realm;
but science points to God as Creator,
Sustainer, and Primary Cause of it
all.
While the stimulation of the brain
may cause certain sensations to the
person, this is no sign of why these
intuitions or feelings come to us
without such artificial stimulations.
It also doesn't answer the question
as to why our brains are made this
way. In other words, perhaps God
created our brains to be impacted
this way, to enable us bodily creatures
to experience God's presence intuitively.
These experiments also speak nothing
of whether or not God exists.
Just the fact that we exist, or that anything exists,
clearly points to God as the Uncaused
Cause of it all. Just like reason
can extrapolate that there is a painter
by virtue of seeing a painting;
so too, reason can see that there
is a Creator (God) by virtue of there
being a creation.
Peace,
Paul
