I agree with the notion that there are no atheists. Everyone believes in God.

Gates seems to be of the agnostic stripe and a lot of these think a tacit acknowledgement of God’s existence is a get-out-of-jail free card.

Nope.  Chuckle

Who or what is the god that Gates actually believes in... he must know  ?

Likely the one true god, but in a strictly lip service kinda way.

Putting him in good company with so many CINOs (Christians in name only).
He must increase, but I must decrease. (Jn. 3:30, ERV)

Before we understood weather...

That was called a sex fertility cult involving Baal and Asherah.

No scientific explanation of how it came about.

Big Bang didn't get it for sure.

Maybe he means all that evolutionary stuff didn't work.

In cantata 'Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme', performed by the Netherlands Bach Society for All of Bach, everything revolves around the parable of the wise and foolish virgins. They wait throughout the night with burning lamps for the arrival of the bridegroom. Five of them have brought along extra oil to keep their lamp burning. The others run out of oil and go off to buy some more. The bridegroom arrives while they are away.

Recorded for the project All of Bach on February 11th 2018 at the Walloon Church, Amsterdam. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel http://bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating http://bit.ly/2uZuMj5.

I think it makes sense to believe in God

But belief in God (about like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy) and believing God (as in faith) are two separate things.

Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. (Gen. 15:6, NIV)
Have to remember they do believe in god. The Inversion, the tongue in cheek one.
Bill Gates is staging a situation to make you think he is god.

George sorry ass has already tried to proclaim himself as God.

Will the real polygamous god please stand up?
