Science was once a child of the church.

Well you make a convincing argument, and I can see your point, and agree. I just find it hard to accept that there was a time in humanity, not counting early Neanderthals and Cromagnons, that humans were not being influenced by a belief in gods. Lets just say the last 40-50,000 years, what time in history did humans have the goddless experience you are suggesting?

Man, belief in God was around 50,000 years or more before Christianity was created in Rome. As I said before, Christianity is NOT all of religion or belief in God; it holds no monopoly on belief.

Are you suggesting that Atheist are not quilty of what you accuse me of now? They never visit Theist boards?

I disagree, science left because it wanted what the church had; power, influence, position in the public, respect and admiration.

Also I agree that Atheist have every right to like science and use it in their arguments; I use science in my arguments for God being real everyday.

Dude, science, philosophy, etc were around LONG before Christianity.
Belief in God was here 50,000 years before Christianity was born in Rome.
