Why separate God from science? I think God works through science, the science that you so firmly embrace. God is a part of everyone and everything, why not science too?

What part would God play in the scientific process?
No, really, let's hear it.
How would you, as a scientist, give God equal time while researching or developing?

Science operates on three fundamental principles:
- Math and logic are valid. If they were not, the truth value of anything would remain unknown as the truth value is logically determined. We could know nothing.
- Observations, unaided or aided, are valid, however, aided are only valid if supported by previous valid observations and mathematics and logic. If they were not, we could never obtain data reliably on which to do math and logic. We could know nothing.
- The supernatural realm, if it exists, maintains a 100% non-involvement policy in the natural realm. If they were not, we could never be certain of the permanence of a fact; the fundamental forces of the universe would be at the whims, possibly changing, of the supernatural realm. We could know nothing.
In short, if the deific hypothesis is true, knowledge is impossible.
Science is the method by which knowledge is attained. Therefore, it cannot accept any violation of the non-supernatural causation axiom.

Science is mankind's explanation of the accomplishments of our divine creator. This God established certain laws that govern our existence and now the study of science has taken credit for its discoveries. Science did not establish these laws, it only attempts to explain them.
This same God declared in his inspired scriptures that his true worshipers are citizens of his righteous and divine government and not of the corrupt governments of men. Having said this, should religion (if it is the true religion) be a part of the 'state' (corrupt government of mankind)? Or should they remain separate and refrain from touching the unclean thing?
Is God a part of a lie if he is a part of everything? There are many things that God does not agree with or is a part of.

Father Georges-Henri Lemaître was a Belgian Roman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics and astronomer.
Monsignor Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, although he called it his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'. He based his theory on the laws of relativity set forth by Einstein, among others, although at the time Einstein believed in an eternal universe...
(Take note, Einstein BELIEVED IN AN ETERNAL UNIVERSE).
Gregor Johann Mendel was an Augustinian abbot who is often called the "father of modern genetics" for his study of the inheritance of traits in pea plants. Mendel showed that the inheritance of traits follows particular laws, which were later named after him. The significance of Mendel's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century. Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of genetics.

Because the greatest enemy of faith is knowledge. Someday we will reach a point in science where everything in the Bible,Quran Torah will be disproven,of course by then they will have slowly made the changes to their writings over several generations so that it coincides more closely with scientific fact. That way the sheeple won't notice the disparity and will keep sending in the money.

Whose "God" would that be? Yours? Mine? Islam's? Hindu's? Native Americans'? Should we make Vishnu a part of science? Or maybe the Egyptian scarab, which according to the ancient Egyptian religion created the Earth?

I have a book recommendation for you: Amit Goswabi's The Self-Aware Universe. Very interesting book written by a Ph.D. in physics about how science may have already stumbled across something that can bridge it to religion.

We would have to believe he existed...and we don't.
We do know science exists though, without question.
So really, you are comparing apples to bibles...it just doesn't work.
We want to seperate church and state because it was WRITTEN that way when this country was created.
Ya don't like it? Move to the Middle East. Their religion rules the land...

Knowledge is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
