"Science demands a beginning without God or absolute intelligent design" This I don't agree with science only says that we don't know. Big bang seems like a good theory, we don't know what happened before then. Until someone else shows a more plausible theory, we take this one as "truth"
You seem to keep seeing science as absolute truth, it's only the most logical guideline that humans somewhat agreed upon at this moment.
Out of arrogance and bigotry, lot of atheists are sure that science is the absolute truth or at least the closest to the truth.I just stated that fact in the article.In many of my essays i'am skeptic about reality.But in the simplified definition of God (especially the christian one) to those who believe in science are sure that "God" is an old fantasy, an old wrong way to explain the unknown.
"least the closest to the truth" If you accept science this is what it means. It's the closest truth humankind has come up with. The problem is that science is constantly changing and evolving because sometimes we can't agree and sometimes we do until some bastard comes and changes the truth.
Right now science agree upon that bible with high probability is a fairy tale. "Gods" that in some form we can not yet comprehend they may exist, but we have not yet seen any evidence at all. And you can't really prove the none existence, so we stand still. So one could argue that its best to asume that there is no gods untill further prof.
