Is atheism a scientific perspective?

[AAA]

I see your point. While I agree that religions make unscientific claims, I think that the prediction of design that comes from the religious worldview has been scientifically productive; especially in biology.

What prediction? What world view? Productive how?

Well the most famous prediction is that the "junk DNA" would have function if it were designed. Now we are finding function after function for this code. They actually almost decided not to sequence this region because they were so confident that it was evolutionary junk. This would probably have been the greatest scientific mistake of all time.
