The guy could have three PHD's in physics, theology and anthropology and it still wouldn't make him any more or less qualified to talk about whether there is or is not a god.

I think it's a pretty safe bet there isn't an all-knowing, all-seeing sentient being in the form of a human
As to whether there's an ultimate 'force' that is basically an extension of mother nature, well that's a different matter.
But some being that needs worshipping, and looks after those who worship 'him' over other that don't - well I'm as sure as you cn get without actually knowing 100% as fact that there isn't, and that jesus was actually a very clued up bloke with great philosophies which got misinterpreted/misreported by 'primitive' people of those times, much like a child of 5 years old is 'primitive' compared to a grown adult with normal intellect
