This is a huge oversimplification and I'd suggest looking more into the theory, but I'm a big fan of the idea of a Spinoza's God. It basically says that the laws of physics are God's behavior. Back in the 17th and 18th centuries, people didn't try to disprove God with science or math; instead, they actually tried to get closer to him by discovering the behaviors of his universe. Personally, I accept most if not all of the mainstream science theories (big bang, evolution, etc.) but don't necessarily think that they disprove a higher power.

One of my chemistry professors, who's also a devout Christian, actually gave a TED talk on this subject awhile back.
