Atheists have this contradiction right in front of their faces and they don't even know it.

I believe science. God created things so we can study them. I believe in the "two book" theory. God wrote the Bible, and He created all of the universe in it's glory. In this then the Bible must agree with science. Even though the Bible isn't a science book, it has scientific things in it. I enjoy looking at new discoveries and seeing that they confirm what the Bible says. So science is not a god to me, but it confirms that God is the Creator.

Most everything I KNOW is from science. There is very little I believe in, except maybe that "belief" is a poor replacement for knowledge. You question just reinforces that.
But if you want to take it straight, I would ask you to find the professional scientist without Alzheimer's who has ever lost his faith in science. Can you find any without seeking out the ones that had some sort of neurological degeneration in their lives? I doubt it.
On the other hand, pretty much every honest Christian is plagued by doubts about even the easiest of Christian concepts at times. The concept of being free of doubt is hardly accepted by any mainstream church.

No I'm a pagan and believe a lot of what science says. Science has proof or evidence. Your God has none. So stop going around questioning why atheists are atheists and then getting angry when they answer. You seem to get upset when someone does the same to you as I have seen. Scientists know what they are talking about and have spent lots of time researching rethinking and then researching again. You haven't.

Since when did the word "god" expand to mean all sorts of random other things like:
"that which I trust" (in which case my friends are gods)
or
"that which motivates me" (in which case some songs from the Goo Goo Dolls are my gods at various points)
or
"that which is most important in my life" (which has nothing whatsoever to do with supernatural beings)
Stop trying to turn atheists into theists by simplistic comparisons...
Atheists hope, dream, love, hate, and believe in and trust all sorts of things such as themselves, their friends and their families. The only thing they don't do is believe in a supernatural being. Any other "version" of god is just playing word games to try to make it seem like atheists are as irrational as theists.
We aren't.

No. Science is made of facts. Theories can even be refuted and changed. Try to do that with a religious belief and see where it leads you.

Not at all.
"God" generally means supernatural, and implies sacrifice (as worship or some other form). The natural world is just that, not supernatural. And furthermore there are no demands made on me with respect to understanding its workings.
Do I think that the natural world is more "powerful" or "higher" than I, of course. But so are hurricanes. Humility regarding one's place in the world should not be confused with servitude or worship.

I don't believe in science. I accept the knowledge acquired from science.

God would be who you worship, what you believe is simply just that...what you believe. If someone believes in heaven, that doesn't make "heaven" become their God, nor does that mean the individual worships heaven, it just simply is a belief

I can't believe that at least one of your responders stated that "Science is fact..." Science is, at best, guess work which follows evidence all too often to false conclusions as has been proven time after time in the Bible which was written long before modern day science. Yet, a secular world dismisses it. Who are the REAL dummies here?

If most of what you believe comes from the Bible, has the Bible become God to you? Biblical Literalists are idolaters in this manner, but that does not mean that scientists have the same blind faith.
