In the 21st Century there should be no place for God in Human Creation Theories.

I don’t agree with the above statement as there has been nothing to confirm that there is no God. Therefore, why do people assume that just because we are in the 21st century, science is so advanced and still there has been nothing that has revealed the existence of God, that there isn’t one? The answer is they don’t, most people when asked in a private survey will admit that they believe in God, the only reason they admit don’t admit it in public is because they don’t want to have to deal with questions from Atheists like, ‘ If there is a God why hasn’t he shown himself to us?’ The answer to this question would be that God relies on Faith and not Fact.

However, when it comes to the creation theory most people and scientists believe that God has had a hand in it but not as big a role as has been explained in the Bible.

There are really at least four main belief systems on the origins of plants, animals, the earth itself, and the rest of the universe.

Creation Science (Young Earth Version): (44% public support). God created the universe during 6 consecutive 24 hour days, less than 10,000 years ago. God rested on the seventh day. All of the various "kinds" of animals that are present on earth today (and those kinds like dinosaurs which once existed but are now extinct) are all descendants of the animals that God created during days in creation week. Many features of the Earth that we see today -- ranging from fossil-laden layers of rock, the mountain ranges, strings of active, dormant and extinct volcanoes, the Grand Canyon, etc. were formed during the great flood of Noah. These beliefs are held mainly by people who interpret the Bible literally, regard the Hebrew and Christian Scriptures as inspired by God, and inerrant.

Theistic View : (39% support). The universe is about 15 billion years old; the earth's crust developed about 4.5 billion years ago. Geological features developed over the life of the Earth. God caused the first living cell to appear. Humans evolved out of lower forms of life under the direct guidance of God. God steered evolution, at least to some degree, as a mechanism to guide the development of new species. Some supporters of this belief system suggest that the human soul is a special creation of God.

Scientific View : (10% support). Same beliefs as for the theistic view, except that God or other deities are assumed to have played no part in the processes. Origins and change in the universe, including the evolution of life species on Earth, were driven by purely natural forces. Many people have associated scientific views with strong Atheism -- the belief that no deity exists. Certainly, many scientists who support naturalistic evolution do not believe in the existence of a supreme being or beings. But others believe both in evolution and in one or more Gods and/or Goddesses who do not intrude on the outcome of natural forces. Some of the latter are Deists who believe that God created the universe, started it in motion, left the universe, and allowed natural processes to originate life and drive evolution.

Creation Science (Old Earth Version) : (Under 7% public support). They believe that each "day" in Genesis may have been much longer than 24 hours; others believe that there were very long gaps between one or more of the "days."

So due to the amount of belief in God I don’t believe the above statement is fair and that it is just the opinion of Athiests trying to get one over on people.
