There is a God, but not the God depicted by Michelangelo on the Sistene Chapel. God is the spirit of the universe and all the the universe contains. God consists of the principles of general physics: gravity (or the curvature of spacetime), the electromagnetic radiation of light, time, velocity, speed and distance. God consists of forces, accelerations and the laws of collisions, the laws of nuclear physics, radiations and disentergration. God consists of the laws of probability, genetics and evolution and many many more principles.
Religions that started two to three thousand years ago have not kept up with modern science. We know that earth was built over a period of four billion years or so and that it was done with the laws of gravity, the laws of motion and the thermodynamics of collisions. The problem arises with the attempt to interpret the Bible too literally. God, the assemblance of all physical principles, built the earth; and we can say it took six days if we define a day as seven hundred million years. But to imagine a human like being as did Michelangelo constructing earth with his hands is a difficult undertaking.
