Science was once a child of the church.

As a whole, no, I don't think so. But they used to be a family. Now, its a family war, which gives more historical emotion to the battle.

All I see in this comment is weirdness. I'm sorry I have a hard time connecting the dots sometimes. Can you clarify what this means?

The Church and Science was in a union, it once served the church and was governed by it; like a child governed by its parent. One reason why science and religion get emotional in their irritation, is this past relationship; similar to the old famous family feuds in the south.

I know science has no written mission to disprove religion, and I am glad that point is made clear. Some atheist may desire that to be true, but its not.

[correction in bold made by me]

There are many atheists who believe science will eventually make belief irrelevant (whether gawd is disproved or not) but very few (if any) who desire it as a "mission" for science.

Please stop capitalizing the word atheist. We are NOT members of some cult and it is NOT a proper noun.

I did the caps out of respect, but it shall be as you wish, atheist.
