Electrons and God

In this survey I asked first what the basis of students' beliefs in the existence of electrons and quarks.  Second, I asked if this was the same basis for their belief in God's existence.  Here's the results:

What is your basis for your belief that electrons and quarks exist?

Authority: 43
Experience of their effects: 6
Reason: 5
Faith: 2

Is this the same basis of your belief in God?

Yes--authority: 6
Yes--reason: 5
Yes--faith: 2
Yes--experience of effects: 1

No--reason: 12
No--authority and experience: 8
No--experience of effects: 6
No--experience: 6
No--faith: 6
No--1
