From: Vivianne Draper I wasn't aware science was looking for god. Who is this science person anyways and why can't s/he find his or her way to a friggin church? Science isn't looking for God, people are trying to use science to disprove God, which they've been doing for hundreds of years. |

From: Introvert Petunia Interesting statement; we actually know vastly more about how the universe started and how things came to be than we do about the biography of Jesus of Nazareth No we don't, we know a lot about the Big Bang and when it probably happened, but why do people like to believe that that was the beginning of the universe? Nobody really worries about what came before that because it is completely unknowable. It is also not possible for us to ever know what is outside of our little universe, unless one of those other universes smashed into ours. Even if that happened, we'd all disappear before we realized the other universe was smashing, what with the speed of light being so slow and all. Does it matter what day Jesus was born? No. |

Science is the use of imperical evidence to prove how things work. No one has any desire to disprove God. Its kind of like... "oh look if I hold a match to gasoline it ignites! That must mean that gas is flammable!" That this statement might directly oppose someone standing on a street corner shouting at the top of his lungs that all fire comes from God is just a side benefit  |

A lot of those famous scientists throughout history have either believed in god from the beginning or convinced themselves god existed durring their studies.

I think almost all of those people are Fundamentalist Christians. Nobody I know of who thinks that evolution is how we got here thinks it has any bearing at all on the existence or otherwise of God.
