But in today's Science, "Theology" is nothing at all...
Science is merely a method, one confined to Natural Philosophy. Currently the Academy issues (edit: no doctoral degrees) for "Science".
Now, the question is:
How does your natural theology impact on my Theology?
You could ask the reverse question, and it is just as valid.
Natural Philosophy and Theology are not related, except as avenues of human endeavor; Discoveries in one make little or no impact on the other.
If you were ask me "Why was the world created?" that is a very different question to "How". "How" does not answer why, but "How" is all "science" ever does, asks, tests or measures.
Therefore, scientific knowledge has no bearing on the existence of God. Further, if this is so it is possible accept all that has been discovered through the scientific method and still be a "Creationist".

So tell me, why did God create the earth?
I'm not asking how - in six days or seven, by telepathy or with Polish hired labour. I'm asking why? For what reason?
If religion can answer the 'why' questions, this is surely the number one question on which to test it.

Being all powerful and all knowing doesn't keep you from being bored and lonely.

I know this much. When I have kids, and they misbehave, I'm putting them in an oven for time out, just like God. And, I'm never letting them out of time out, just like God.
