A Test Tube God

By The Daily Dish

Feb 8 2009, 5:20 AM ET

Mark Thompson:

...science demeans itself when it used as a proof of the non-existence of god.  Science is not meant to provide unfalsifiable answers, nor is it intended to answer questions that can only admit of unfalsifiable answers.  To do so is to turn the scientific method on its head.  And in so doing, science demeans itself because it loses part of its very essence.
