it is the quest to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to life-as-we-know-it ....

but boys.... if this leads to 'god', will you automatically dismiss it?

[whattajoke]

If a scientific quest to understand underlying mechanisms turns up proof of a supernatural origin, my personal beliefs would be rather inconsequential in the scheme of things. Of course I wouldn't "automatically dismiss it." The world would turn upside down, which I'd be quite interested in seeing. Until then, I'll stick to what I currently regard as reality.

Can God be tested for? If not, then your point is moot.
