Quote: Fast forward to today's dichotomy: the dispute between those who argue that "science, when done properly, has no place for a 'god' which cannot be tested in standard scientific method" and those who reply that "issues about God are not IN the realm of science, and simply not subject to 'testing'." (unquote)

I haven't really come across this alleged dichotomy. There is little or no real motivation in science to test for a God. The latter is more the case, and it reflects what I said about science being generally unconcerned about God. It can't really be any other way. I have never seen any paradox in the fact that many scientists believe in God. In nearly every case a belief in God will not impinge in any way in their everyday work. Science is generally not about people philosophising in ivory towers. It's about earning a crust. And let's not forget that Newton, that guru quoted above, was frequently wrong and was a self-centred, opinionated, arrogant prick!
