By definition, science has a method and a process. Without it, it's not science. You're really stretching the boundaries to try to include basic, instinctive problem-solving. I honestly don't believe that animals are capable of doing "science" but your description makes scientists of animals, too. I disagree.
I don't see how it makes scientists of animals. Do animals hypothesize about events being related? It is that hypothesis that is the core of all science.
I agree. I don't believe any god. The only thing i believe in is karma.
Another person who thinks they are "atheist"... You don't believe in a god yet you believe in a higher power constantly controlling your fate, such misguidance.

NO, it's not the "higher power". It's just morale. Superego. It's what my parents told me- don't be rude, work hard, be kind, treat living beings like you'd like them to treat you. So, no connections with higher power.
Would you say that a wristwatch is evidence of a wristwatch maker? Or do you say that the wristwatch is no evidence at all... It made itself.
The evidence of God is all around you. Or do you say that all of that, including yourself, made itself?
You may say... But I can go and investigate the history of the wristwatch and track down it's origin to find a maker. True, this you can do. But have you? Yet you say and believe a wristwatch maker exists?
While at the same time you refuse to investigate the origin of your surroundings and yourself which will lead you to the only logical conclusion which is that of an intelligent creator. Yet without doing this research you stare into the overwhelming evidence of an obvious intelligent creator of incredible power, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to conclude on blind faith alone, "He does not exist."
To me, this is an amazing thing. And it is incredibly foolish to want it to be so.
Atheists don't deny this (generally). We may find a unicorn one day, as well, but until that day comes, I'll suspend my belief in unicorns.
As such, a Creator must be more complex than its creation. To what do you attribute its existence?
Why would the creation be able to grasp the creator? We are locked in the here and now. Why would we be able to fully understand that which is outside of our experience?
Obviously our finite time frame has been created an entity that exists independent of time. If not, our present time never arrives from eternity past making our existence in the here and now impossible.
The existence of a creative force or entity that has created the orderly Universe we exist in is logical whether we understand it or not. The conclusion that such a creator cannot exist because we do not perceive one expresses arrogance, irrationality and an inclination toward willful ignorance.
Given a creator, the next logical question "where did this creator come from?" assumes that a creator has not always existed in every place. That is a huge assumption.
