Subject: RE: BS: The End of Science in Texas...
The person who (hypothetically, I assume) says "one day life will be created in a lab and more people will realise that man created god not the other way round" appears to me to be a believer in a subset of atheism. Atheism, of course, is just as much dogma as creationism. The absolute belief that there is no such thing as god/God is as unprovable as the absolute belief that god/God created the universe {through whatever process your particular religion prefers}. To say that one cannot prove by empirical evidence that there is a god/God doesn't mean that this lack of proof proves there isn't a god/God. Likewise, saying that one doesn't believe in the Judeo-Christian creation stories (as I recall, there are three in the Bible) doesn't preclude a belief that, for example, at some time or another, someone or something gave the cosmos a little nudge and then went off to enjoy a beer-equivalent.
