No, saying you are unable to examine something is not saying that thing doesn't exist.I never said it is. It is simply atheism excercised and espoused within the confines of science. Government has no business establishing and supporting that kind of exercise to exclusion of those who believe God may fall within the purview of science, either directly or indirectly.

So, does it bother you that God isn't mentioned in chemistry class, either? How about physics?

"I never said it is."
You said exactly this. We have been saying over and over that science is unable to examine if God exists, and you are saying science is saying therefore that God doesn't exist (the definition of atheism).
"It is simply atheism excercised and espoused within the confines of science."
See, you are doing it again. Atheism is ONLY the conviction that something does not exist. Science doesn't say this. How can the position of science be atheism when it doesn't say that God doesn't exist?
"Government has no business establishing and supporting that kind of exercise to exclusion of those who believe God may fall within the purview of science, either directly or indirectly."
The government has no business pushing theological claims in a science classroom when these claims are not capable of scientific examination.
