Not trying to make any kind of statement here, just bringing some levity to the subject. It’s interesting that proposing that God exists is offensive to a scientist (although I don’t know why he wouldn’t be the ultimate Scientist and Mathematician), but proposing dark energy or dark matter, something we have never seen, and don’t know what it is, doesn’t seem to be the least bit of a problem. Even worse, theoretical physicists are discussing multiple universes (multiverse) scenarios without compunction, even though, by sheer definition, they are talking Meta-Physics and something that can never be proven.

I believe you are saying that science tends to be atheistic because it confines itself to the materialistic explanation for everything. There is materialism in the universe, but that is not the whole story.

Science is representative of mankind's attempt to study the realities of his physical environment from the microcosm to the wide universe or macrocosm. Science uses reason as a tool for recognizing the conclusions of consciousness with regard to the experience in and with the physical world of energy and matter, time and space. The relevant facts of science are clarified and correlated, becoming meaning in the thought streams of mind. Science is dedicated to the investigation of physical things and energies. Religion, on the other hand, deals with the realities of a spiritual nature. Science encounters great difficulties when it presumes to make pronouncements on things that are not associated with the physical creation. The analytical tools of science cannot penetrate the worlds of either mind (the proper domain of philosophy) or spirit (the proper domain of religion). However, this inability of science to effectively delve into the worlds of mind and spirit does not in any way negate the unique value it brings to providing insights into the workings of the physical creation.

The whole circle of science rests inside the circle of philosophy which rests inside the circle of religion.

The Stoic and his sturdy appeal to "nature and conscience" had only the better prepared all Rome to receive Christ, at least in an intellectual sense. The Roman was by nature and training a lawyer; he revered even the laws of nature. And now, in Christianity, he discerned in the laws of nature the laws of God. A people that could produce Cicero and Virgil were ripe for Paul's Hellenized Christianity.
