  No, not if you are honest about it. I don’t believe in God.

  In my personal opinion yes, you can. I do think you can love science and believe in God or profess any other religion. One thing should not necessary exclude the other one.

  There are many interesting questions in science that we still don’t understand. But a magical invisible bearded man in the sky is not necessary to answer those questions.

  Yes, absolutely you can, I certainly do. There are some aspects of some religions that don’t fit with science, but God isn’t one of those.

I think that God doesn’t necessary have to be a magical bearded man, in my parent’s belief God isn’t a man at all it is more like a power that protects us all, do you believe in that, while being a scientist?

  Personally I don’t but I respect your parent’s beliefs. You are free to make up your own mind.
