Beans and bananas can be proven by science that they exist.
God can't.

Two factors:

1. Because many modern atheists actually follow the principle of "No God exists" rather than the "Godless" principle and feel like imposing their belief system on Christianity. From my experience, it's rarely about other religions though they do lump it when they get the chance.

2. Due to the whole Intelligent Design fiasco and partly due to evolution becoming pop science, many become evolution dogmatists and based on their empirical actions, treat evolution as the new religion though they wouldn't use the term though their actions show similarities to that of dogmatic Christians.

Though it's true that evolution does undergo a more scientific approach or empirical approach than Christianity, many "God does not exists" atheists do not try to explain the facts or verify the facts and ignore the scientific approach by weighing down the evidences and listening to criticism or differing feedbacks. These dogmatic atheists in their pursuit to convince others of their way relate Christianity with science because they see Christianity as wrong.

Do you mean to say that comparing religion and science is like comparing apples and oranges? ***laughs***

I think that some atheists that relate the two believe there is a correlation, and that science somehow disproves or will disprove God's existance, because they start with the claim that they are more rational and came to their decision based on logic. That without proof, that in itself is proof that God doesn't exist, or they'll often say "you can't prove a negative."

The fact is that there are many brilliant scientific minds that have very strong faith in a Supreme Being and Intelligent Design. It's sad, really, that so many seem to think that science and religion have to be mutually exclusive. That a rational, critically thinking mind couldn't possibly choose to believe in God.

I have been an Atheist for quite a while and I have never heard that we do that. It just so happens that evolution is a Scientific theory based on facts and not anything within that theory supports the belief in a God or Gods. You and other believers argue with the theory of evolution in an effort to make others accept your ideas of a God and that we do not relate to.

Science has everything to do with gods and religion, because science really just means knowledge. We necessarily assume that reality is, at least in principle, understandable, and that means it must be amenable to rational thought, which means science. The only alternative to science is unreason - believing things which have no justification in terms of argument or evidence - and that would be pointless. Science tells us that gods don't and can't exist. It's pointless to believe otherwise.

I like how you refuse to believe how poorly written your question is to the point of blaming the readers for not getting it.

If you are asking why people that don't believe in God cite science as proof against his existence then the answer is fairly straight forward. Science is how we as humans uncover knowledge about ourselves and the universe, Many of these discoveries don't gel with what is written in the bible. Since we don't believe in the bible naturally the scientific explanation works better.

In my case, science lays out a worldview that strongly suggests the theistic/supernatural worldviews (all of them) are wrong.

Science is the best offense thinking people have to convince other thinking people that religion is rubbish and should be purged from our schools and governments.

BUT I do not speak of all atheists. We are allowed to agree to disagree amongst ourselves just like the theists (Although we don't tend to kill each other as often)

The banana fitting orifices perfectly was the psychotheology of Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort (who cannot explain the pineapple).

I think Science and God are in no way related.

Atheist don't believe in God because the existence of God cannot be demonstrated scientifically.
