Why? . . . anyone can do it. The focus is on the "what" not the "who".
This is the pipe dream of the scientific community. What they have done is created their own language. It's very much like how the religious structure works. You have truth that cannot be identified as truth unless put through a process. That process involves the testing of some sort of phenomenon that has been indentified to exist because of it's effect on the known world and the people in it. That process is accepted by the general populace and adopted as law. Then each individual is said to have a choice in participating or not. If they participate which takes study and devotion they will be able to come closer to the truth that they know to exist, but will be able to demonstrate and explain it.
This is what the scientific method is. It is a new world religion that has produced the best results and therefore is taking it's rightful place in the throne of the universe. Just like when religion came into existence this created a massive supply and demand for a student teacher relationship.
So now what has happened is that educational system has been pretty much stolen by the secular community who have crowned themselves victorious. What this has done is created a massive surge of home schooling parents likely because they don't "speak the language" that elites do at the top of the intellectual circles. Who will the people of the future be? It depends on who wins this debate.

guess Sabastious is right. Better get ye to a church or something.. pray to a chunk of wood or somethin'....
Belief in God is all that counts. When you have faith you then get to start on the path to working out salvation. There are many places besides church that you can be lead to. Your path to salvation is heavily influenced by preference and general choice.

It's like a 1/1000 explanation actually
Where does this statistic come from?
Yes, the scientists do want to explain the universe because they work in the industry of hope.
Their industry is knowledge. Knowledge does not always bring hope, but it brings understanding. Why would you say they are in the industry of hope? They are neutral---what people do with the knowledge (science put to use is called technology) is out of their hands.
The Democratic Left is constantly telling us that our energy needs are right around the corner with wind and solar, but what happens when the technology becomes available? China steals the manufacturing so we loose control right there. Then the equipment needs installation and is very expensive up front. So then you have to have these bureaucracies figure out ways to get them into people's homes who can't afford it. In the meantime they are telling us that we are ruining the earth because we use bottled water
What does any of this have to do with science? Your side trips are dizzying.
The fact is that the atheists have made their bed and now they are sleeping in it.
What bed is that? It's like you just dropped this comment in from nowhere. Did it fall from a building? It doesn't even link to anything you said in the previous sentences.
Then you got the Republicans who glorify suffering through 20 jobs and giving up your life in order to "make it." For some reason they want to withhold technology from the general populace because they think it makes them lazy. It's like you can't win with these people. Who cares if they are on their iPod's they are living aren't they? Let them do what they want, but make sure they have morals and principles. The world is their oyster so the old timers just need to sit back and watch the younger generation go to work.
Again---where does this even come from? What does it have to do with science. Did you know that Size is not an American, and maybe our politics aren't on the top of his concerns?
That's what the atheists should be focusing on. Find the good aspects of all the ideas about God and call that righteousness. Because it's already been mapped, we don't have to map it again.
Psst. Atheists don't believe in god. I think you should concern yourself with the diet and behavior of unicorns----because it is through their example that we find the answers. It was mapped out thousands of years ago by unicorns and fairies.

Thanks but I'm all good.

Did he say science or religion is in the industry of hope?
The fact is that the atheists have made their bed and now they are sleeping in it.
