Science was once a child of the church.

[Napoléon]

Science now has other bedfellows, and it has a " Fan base", which I think Atheism is part of, latching themselves to it as if they are partners. They root for science and treat it like religions treat their gods. A different type of worship.

Do you even realise how ironic you are being?

So it's okay for the religious to have a science fan club, but nobody else?

But science was once the child of the church, its main mission used to be " A search for the divine."

So the religious used to root for science. Right? That's what you're saying. Until it stopped being in their interest to do so.

What I want to know, is why you think this gives religion any kind of validity, or makes any difference whatsoever in scientific discoveries? What do you want? Credit for religion giving birth to science (debatable)? Fine. You should also take credit for all the times religion has stifled scientific progression as well then.

Excuse me, can you prove to me that one of the missions of science is to disprove the church? What, you have a certified list of scientific by laws?

Science doesn't have a fucking mission. It doesn't make it any less a tool for disproving bullshit claims made by the religious.
