Two men in ancient times were walking along. One of them said, "Look at the beauty of the universe. Look at how everything seems to fit together. Surely God is great to have created all this!"

The other man said, "All this just happens to exist. If things fit together, it's just by happenstance. If there's order and apparent design, it's just coincidence. Can you prove or disprove that this God of yours exists?"

The first man said, "No, but can you prove or disprove that all this just happens to exist and that God had nothing to do with it?"

The second man said, "No, but my views are scientific so they're the only ones fit for public discourse."

And thus secularism masquerading as science was born!

Actually, it sounds like 'two men, zero clues'.

Very little in science is coincidence.

That sums things up very well. I would be happy with an agnostic approach to science, but it seems "agnostic" isn't good enough for certain folks. It has to be "atheistic."
