Is GOD losing control?

I was reading a weekly a few days ago.... the cover story was "Does God Exist?"...The entire story revolved around a scientist in the US who used various mathematical theories to figure the existence of God...He then had deduced that there is a 68.8% chance that God exists....

He had given weightages for events in history and figured which ones were comprehendible by modern science and those that were not. He then gave weightages to events & made a statistical measure to arrive at the figure.

My submission is, If the same study had been done a few decades ago, the probability of god existing would have been 90% plus...and if it is done a few years later, the chances that he exists would surely be lesser.

I would suggest, God has been slowly losing his control on humans. When science was unknown, and humans did not know what caused any event or occurance, they gave God the credit. Catastrophes and miracles have played equal roles in people’s minds in driving the faith.... the faith that had risen from the fact that they couldn’t figure who was responsible. The only unknown and unseen entity was GOD...

As days progress and humans unearth secrets and superstitions, slowly God is being stripped off his powers. Today everyone knows that if there’s a crash, it didn’t happen because God willed so, but it crashed because of a technical flaw....
I can see God and Science as two employees in an organisation...God the older one, with all the experience doing all the work...Science the new & younger one has come in and is slowly making the management believe that he is actually the one who can or who should be working on many of the projects that God once handled.... the management (humans) are moving most projects to Science, except for the ones which they think Science does not understand

God will soon be left to just his biggest core competency- the power behind life and death. The two Big unpredictable and undecodable events.... or will Science soon strip him off his biggest strength too?

We’ll have to wait and watch...
