The only rational of faith in God that I really respect is a personal existential dialectic of the unknown. This conception of God as the wisdom of the unknowable is largely irrelevant to the origin of the physical world (or I should say that the origin of the physical world is irrelevant to this God) as this God plays a role in being and nothing more. It's bad theology to suppose that an old man shat out the universe as is, God is a concept that frames being and, in turn, frames knowledge. Supposing it as an objective entity is to misunderstand the purpose of God, like a user of a computer using google in order to find that the user does or doesn't have fingers to type with.
Also it is weird talking about empiricist philosophers with scientists (or science enthusiasts). They take themselves so given that many are ignorant of what they are about!
