For the longest time, science advocates have held that science isn’t deliberately launching targeted attacks against religion, but rather simply calling the evidence as it sees it. However, it is beginning to appear that there is a growing scientific mindset preparing to mount a direct assault in response to the increasing tempo of attacks being brought by their religious adversaries.

I honestly don’t know how well religion will fare in a holy war against science in this day and age. I do wonder if the fundamentalist supporters of such ideas as geocentricism and intelligent design fully realize that they have been hard pressed just to hold their own in this struggle so far, despite the fact that until now their scientific opponents have mainly restrained themselves to defense. Some of them may find themselves a bit overwhelmed if ever they do end up facing a determined, concerted large scale offensive against their beliefs.

I continue to hold that science has neither any business nor inclination to meddle in religion. What I do see, though, is a growing encroachment upon scientific positions by people motivated solely by fundamentalist religious beliefs. So far, there really isn’t a full blown war going on between science and God, despite its imagined existence among zealots on both sides. I shudder to think of the end result should one really occur - both religion and science make essential contributions to life as we know it and it would be devastating should one destroy the other.

What exactly does science mean? Now it is under the supposed science realm that global warming has been conceived, and further science also heads the minds of the concept of cloning. The scientific community seeks to give the appearance of riding shepherd over the high ground, above all. The scientific community demands, and requires control with their system of educating the very young to wall out the Heavenly Father from their high estates, called public schools.

They use government to collect their tithes that maintains their apparent stature of fittest to survive. They believe they are 'gods'. That other religion spoken of in Genesis, 'you know' the god of knowledge.
