implicitly atheistic in its approach to science?

Since when can science claim anything regarding the supernatural?

Why don't you concentrate on finding physical evidence of God fester? You'll be more famous that Einstein if you can figure out a way to prove the existence of God with science.

The physical evidence is indirect and resides in the ubiquitous presence of organized matter that behaves according to predictable laws. From it science is free to undertake inquiry with the assumption it will find order throughout the universe. Without it science would have nothing to observe in the first place.

The more science progresses, the more organized it finds matter to be. Order is what intelligent design is all about. Science no more needs to prove the existence of God than it needs to prove the usefulness and necessity of language. It is simply one of the givens under which good science can take place.

BTW, Happy New Year, narby.

Unfortunately, science won't accept any evidence for the supernatural because it claims that it only deals with the natural, therefore; anything that is discovered is automatically presumed to be natural in origin. So science as defined by scientists today precludes any chance of evidence for a creator.
