But it really doesn't matter what it contains. The fact is that science hasn't truly explained anything in terms of how the universe came to be. Even the Big Bang and Inflation theories are nothing more than observations of what happened. But they don't explain why or how it came to happen in the first place.
In fact, that's all science can ever amount to - an explanation of what's happening. Science is truly nothing more than an observation of what's happening, and that's all that it is. By it's very nature it can never say anything beyond that. It simply isn't geared to saying things beyond what it can be observed. In fact, even when scientific theories predict things, those things are considered to be "science" unless they can be observed.
So science amounts to nothing more than an explanation of what's already happening. That's nowhere near an explanation of how things came to be in the first place.
So science is nothing more than a detailed description of how 'magic' actually works.
As Stephen Hawking once put it, "Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe?"
Unlike radical lay atheists, the real scientists fully understand that science is really nothing more than a quantitative description of "magic".
Magic clearly exists and scientists has no clue why.
Science hasn't answered the mystery of the universe. Any atheist who believes otherwise is only pulling the wool over their own eyes. They aren't fooling anyone else.
Science itself in no way supports "atheism". Science simply has NO CLUE.
The myth that science actual "explains" anything foundational about the existence of the world is nothing more than atheistic gobbledygook. It has no ground to stand on at all.
All science does is explain what we observe. It has no clue how the universe magically appeared in the first place or from whence it came.
To try to claim otherwise is a farce.
The fact that anything exist at all is magic for sure.
There is nothing in science that can explain how anything can exist at all really. Not without at least relying on the premise that "Quantum Fields" magically existed FIRST, complete with all thier laws and characteristic behaviors.
So to claim that "scientifically" there is no such thing as magic is ludicrous.
Such a claim is utterly hilarious.
Science simply isn't in a position to make any such claim.
Christian - A moron who believes that an all-benevolent God can simultaneously be a hateful jealous male-chauvinistic pig.
Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Luke 23:34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.
Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!
