Oh, God?

Sincerely, I cannot really stand the discussion "God Exist / No, it doesn't", nor the similar and often associated  "Evolution is crap".

On one side, I realize that lovers of the sciences may as well forget any effort to make understand to fundamentalists why a theory is scientific, how epistemology  works, why a falsifiable and testable - though not necessarily experimentally verifiable - theory may be science, even when destined to be proven wrong some day in the future, while an untestable truth surely is not.

Let's spare the effort - it is wasted.

On the other hand, I do not get what many fundamentalists want from science, either.

I really pity those that, to validate their faith, feel the need to demonstrate - really, just shout out of their lungs, usually -  that any scientific knowledge in contrast with this or that detail of their theology is false or impossible to be tested experimentally - which is pretty much the norm for every "historical" science, from geology onward - and, thus, anti-scientific.

If all that is needed to upset them is some researcher, that doesn't see the need of the existence of God to explain the processes that he studies, they should understand that indeed great is THEIR sin.

Their, not the one of the scientist that disturbs them.

They prove to be persons whose faith falters as a strand of grass in the wind, and they do not even realize what risible limits, out of their narrow minds, they attribute to the power and the creativity of their God(s).

If it exists, it would never be so dumb as to leave clues around for science to prove its existence.

if it did, faith wouldn't be anything more than a simple acknowledgement of demonstrable facts - and even someone like me cringes at the idea of such a loss of grace.
