The statements of science are not atheistic or theistic. They are agnostic concerning the existence of a God. Statements by scientists that are theistic or atheistic are NOT scientific statements. God is not examinable by science. It's a theological/philosophical statement, not a scientific one.

We're not just talking about "the statements of science." We're talking about the assumptions under which science is engaged. "God is not within the purview of science" is not a scientific statement, but an assumption under which certain people prefer to begin their interpretation and explanation of the evidence.

[ God is not examinable by science. It's a theological / philosophical statement, not a scientific one. ]

True..... UNLESS;

God is a real and operable force in this Universe..
holding all things together and by "it"(God) all things consist..

If that were true, then modern science, especially quantum physics(meaning those that seek that knowledge ), rejects the very source of what they trying to deduce..

Also; if that were true, a "scientist" that didn't pray ugh!, attempt communication or knowledge of/with that force whom is(could be) a personality is carrying on a monologue with himself and is looking into a universal mirror and is shaving knowledge and brushing ignorance's teeth..

ya think?..
