Imagine a hypothetical future when CERN has completely explained how the universe came into existence, leaving no gap for God to fit into any more. What would religion be like at that point and what kinds of rationalisations would people with faith have?
"Evolution is just a theory."
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
