He has redefined Atheistic to mean saying God is outside the realm of science. It's easy when you can make up your own meanings for words.

Nonsense. Atheistic is a characteristic that can be applied to anything that excludes God from consideration, whether it be science or public policy. Now, I understand you have hyperextended my application of the word as if I am saying science is making a statement about God's existence in general. If that is the case, then perhaps I should find a word better suited to communicating on your level.

For the time being however, I simply marvel at the notion that science can somehow, ex opere operato, exclude God from its purview when science a.) by definition seeks objective truth wherever, and however, it may be found, and b.) in this case assumes for itself judgment in a matter over which it declares itself to be ipso facto unqualified.
