Nothing my eye, Something for sure
Why people align atheism with science I have no idea? Atheism and theism are philosophical points of view, are they not?
I don't think atheists can be uniformly generalized. Same thing with theists.
An atheist simply asserts that there is no God(s), or that it is very unlikely.
I have no problem with atheists or theists using science to justify their claims, but that isn't science.
Someone who does not know if God exists and sees no evidence for one is an agnostic.
I do see a movement where some people align atheism with science. I don't think scientists, believers and non believers, have any desire to conflate atheism, or theism with science.
Some popularizers of science want to do science the disservice of getting involved with atheist debates against theism. That has to be a big waste of time.
Science can only refute literal interpretations of nature that are told of in scriptures.
