But this isn't an argument about Theism vs Atheism. Neither one plays a part here. This particular discussion is about what constitutes "science". The Scientist isn't trying to prove or disprove the existence of God. Science involves trying to understand what is known, and whether what we see has a supernatural foundation is something that science cannot know. In this particular discussing the Theist is trying to have his faith, through non-demonstrable statements in writings with no scientific background whatever, taught as "science". That is the only question in this particular debate.
