Why aren't scientists trying to prove or disprove whether God exists or not?

This is the problem with bringing up ID in schools. Because it brings science to bear on religion. Which I would think that any thinking believer would avoid like the plague, if only because it will make their children question the existence of God.

The solution is in the interpretation of Genesis. If Genesis allows for Evolution, then no problem. If believers insist on litteral interpretations of Genesis, then big problem.

So you think science can (eventually) disprove God's existence. Wrong.

And you are believe that Evolution and theism can be bed buddies? I don't think a personal or nonpersonal intelligent agent would create something with no purpose in mind.

Why would it be a problem? Just differing opinions. Everyone doesn't have to agree.
