This is rather misleading. While it's true that no scientific theory is ever 100% certain, most of them are pretty damn close. It's hypothetically possible that gravity doesn't actually exist, but it's absurdly improbable because of the amount of evidence we have of gravity, and the predictive power that the theory of gravity has in real life. God, however, is a much weaker hypothesis. The evidence for any god existing is underwhelming at very best, while the evidence against most of the popular gods is quite damning. So while we can't say with 100% certainty that Yahweh doesn't exist, we can say it with about the same certainty we have in saying that Santa Claus doesn't exist.
The atoms that make up you and me were born in the hearts of suns many times greater than ours, and in time our atoms will once again reside amongst the stars. Life is but an idle dalliance of the cosmos, frail, and soon forgotten. We have been set adrift in an ocean whose tides we are only beginning to comprehend and with that maturity has come the realization that we are, at least for now, alone. In that loneliness, it falls to us to shine as brightly as the stars from which we came.
