Yes, if you place the authority of your beliefs on the scientific method (as most atheists do) then you are claiming that science is truth. How can science answer the questions of origins or of God's existence, when it can't even answer basic simple questions like these?
Question 1: What will be the outcome of rolling a pair of dice?
This simple physics problem is so complex that it cannot be predicted, beyond making a guess that would be equal to the guess of a small child.
Question 2: What did I eat for breakfast last Tuesday?
All perceivable evidence for this question has been completely dissolved at a molecular level. In this instance, if a small child watched me eat breakfast last Tuesday, then his testimony is completely superior to the whole of modern science.
No, I am not a particularly religious person, and I have no problem with agnosticism, but I do find atheism (the belief that science is truth and the supernatural cannot exist) to be absurd.
