I have begun reading both "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis at the same time. Dawkins clearly believes that science has a place in searching for God and determining existence or non-existence. Lewis believes that science has inherent limits that prevent it from conducting this search. I tend to side with Dawkins as I see the realm of science expanding over time. Plus, I think that relegating to God things that science cannot explain condemns God to an ever-shrinking status as science figures more stuff out. Shouldn't we, as humans, be willing to utilize science as a method for find truth, even if that truth disturbes us? I imagine the truth about God's existence, one way or the other, could be terribly disturbing to a lot of people.
