What would scientists say about their understanding...?
of the universe in a percentage? 100% being a complete flawless understanding of the universe to 1% being the base of the mount Everest.
I'm surprised by the answers... I hope the answers were not from agnostics and atheists only.
If scientist don't even know a fraction of a percentage about the universe or how can we measure things what we have yet to know what we don't know, how can any of them claim that they have the truth and claim with almost absolute certainty of absence of God?

I don't know about a percentage, but the more you know, the more you know you don't know.

I think that 0% of scientists have a compete understanding of the universe. We do not have the information available at this time to know anything about the universe with 100% certainty.
We know a great deal about our planet and this solar system, however.
I don't know anyone, with a functioning brain, who will say with certainty that God exists or does not exist.

a decimal point, infinite zeros and then a 1
Traveler, your second part is a plee for scientific understanding of the supernatural. Unfortunately, there is no validation in science for something that shows no experimental evidence. Therefore, you will not prove God with science.

"For the scientist who has lived his dream by faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries." - Robert Jastrow (astronomer and physicist)

We don't know what we don't know, so how can you give a percentage?
