first there was religion. then it evolved into science.
that was because man had an inquiring mind from day one: what does that fruit taste like? anyone know for sure?
over time, man's need to know moved from explaining things from a majickal sky-god who walked with him in the evenings, to trying explain things in greater detail.
man's mind began with god as the best answer available; over time science was borne on the scene. remember a mechanical universe, and how much sense it made for so long? ol Newton and the fall of the apple, right? now, the quantum physics purports to tell us what we've always wanted to know, but couldn't understand it well enough to explain to anyone who didn't think just like us.
i like the idea that god opened the door for us humans to have science as a walking partner down here on the earth.
as far as the athiests are concerned, some people put all their faith in a raw god; others put their faith in a raw science. the two are quite interrelated, i'm thinking.
