And what would incorporating God do to Science other than drive away any who didn't share your view of God?

Haha, I know! Imagine the mess! Right here on Free Republic there's enough infighing among the Catholics and different Protestant denominations, imagine if we added the other world religions all in the name of science! Perhaps then we actually WOULD see something resembling the Apocalypse!

Yes, when a Catholic a Protestant a Buddhist an Atheist an Agnostic a Deist a Muslim a Mormon and a Jew all get together and agree on something, it is probably science and nothing else in God's creation. And that is because we attribute physical causes to physical phenomenon and base models on utility in being able to explain and predict data rather than conforming it to theological concerns or philosophies.

If I was reading a paper on Genetics, and suddenly the paper started to discuss how we should all feel about this and how it fits right into some previously held religious scripture of whatever source, or started to claim that this data was evidence for or against a scriptural interpretation, or “proved” or “disproved” God or some theological concept, or started waxing philosophical.... well then it would have departed the realm of science and I would skip to the next section that was discussing the data and have a great deal of suspicion overall.
