Since when does science upstage God? That's actually laughable. Science didn't give me an enriching Catholic education. Science didn't give me the ability to learn how to play guitar. Science didn't give me the wonderful dachshund sleeping next to me right now. God did all of those things.

Did your Catholic education take place in a building? Science.
Did your Catholic school building have electricity, running water, and sanitary facilities? Science.
Did any of your teachers at school wear glasses, clothes, or a pacemaker? Science.
Is your guitar electric? Science.
Is your guitar acoustic? Science.
Does your guitar have strings, frets, and tuning pegs? Science.
Does your dachshund look like a dachshund? Science.

Boru I suppose God is responsible for wholes, while science is responsible for particulars.

Dachshunds are a human-created breed. German dog breeders took multiple generations of artificial selection to come up with the animal you know as a dachshund.

But what about figures like Gandhi? Do they count as proof of Vishnu?
