""absence of evidence is also evidence of absence""

Here Pete you shoot yourself through both feet, even as you stuff the pair of them in your mouth.

For if you were correct, you just offered proof that there is NO God, the absence of evidence being evidence of HIS absence.


""it was in a biblical worldview in time past that science made great strides.""

Wrong again! It was in spite of a biblical worldview in time past that science made great strides. And it would have done so more quickly and more effectively without the stifling effect of that biblical world view.

The church wanted science to prove the biblical view correct, and when it didn't, people like Galileo were imprisoned or forced to recant.

The greatest scientific advances all took place after the church lost its complete control of the population.

2/10 for historical knowledge! Must do better!
