At various times I've seen each side in the origins debate accuse the other
of not understanding the limitations of science. The creationists rightly
condemn the misuse of science by some atheists to support their atheism,
but seem to miss the point that it is just as inappropriate a tool for
supporting the _existence_ of God. The Bible teaches that men willfully
chose not to honor God. Men's hearts have to be changed before they can
perceive God.
