Why "Sun God"? Is God beyond science?

Just an explanation why i wrote about the Sun God one post below...
This is also the reason why i prefer to call this blog 'Agnostic India' rather than 'Atheistic India'.

I just wanted to, for a moment, consider the outside possibility of the existence of a supernatural being that created our universe and is watching over us... that is 'God'. The intellectual and physical differences are comparable to the differences found in a bacterium and a human scientist studying them. Is it ever possible for a bacterium in the petridish to realize that it is being grown and is being studied?

One could theoretically argue that the differences between a human and God are such that there is no conceivable way of ever knowing or 'proving' the existance of God. Since everything is being controlled by god, even our scientific instruments, protons, photons and all possible particles, why even the very nerve cells which we use to think, there is no way we can prove or disprove the existance of God. God is beyond science.

Is this possible. Of course yes.
Isn't it a sad situation? Of course it is!

    Great! It needs tremendous courage to believe in the probability of creationism and yet be an agnostic!
