Neil deGrasse Tyson's explanation of why knowing only a small percentage of all things doesn't mean to throw your hands in the air and declare it all must just have been done by God. My father was a prominent physicist and made sense with science and his religion by believing God to be a brilliant scientist as well, thus following physical laws (many of which we have yet to comprehend) to create what we perceived as miracles.
While I obviously disagree with a belief in God, I can, at least, agree better with those who associate scientific discovery and the gaining of knowledge to be the ideal--even if I don't, necessarily, see it as becoming "godlike."
