You missed what Mr. Shuttlesworth was explaining the thread I guess. All science does is relay facts about the physical world. NOTHING and I mean absolutely NOTHING wrong with trying to figure the physical world. But what about near death experiences? Or dreams? Or people that claim they have left their body and roamed the earth(astral travel)? Or people that claim to have connected with spirits? Nothing? Something? This is the area that atheists and scientists ignore. This would be the spiritual side of things. There is physical and there is spiritual. What seems to be going on today is that those in charge want people to lose their "spiritual selves" for their physical selves.
So where you have it wrong is simple. Just because ancients thought it was their god jupiter throwing bolts down from the clouds (and we obviously found that not to be the case) doesnt mean there isnt a Creator. Just that they had the wrong impression of the physical world. Another thing:
"The fact of the matter is the overwhelming majority of scientists agree that the universe came about throwuh purely natural means.... including the creation of life on this planet"
What put the "natural means" that the universe came into being into place? Itself? Nothing?
