A universe with a God would look quite different from a universe without one. A physics, a biology where there is a God is bound to look different. So the most basic claims of religion are scientific. Religion is a scientific theory.

Summary

This quote suggests that the presence or absence of a god would have a profound impact on the way the universe operates. It implies that if there is a god, then the laws of physics and biology would be influenced by the existence of this higher power. Therefore, religion can be perceived as a scientific theory since it makes fundamental claims about the nature of the universe. However, it is important to note that religion often goes beyond the realm of empirical observation or predictable patterns, thus differing from traditional scientific theories in certain aspects.
