As for refuting theology with science...isn't that what the evolution vs. creationist battles are all about?
Should scientists back down in Kansas because some religionists happen to also have board seats on the state board of education since that's really politics and not science per'se?
No one's marching into the churches with science text books, but religionists are entering the classroom and attempting to dictate the education of existing and future generations.
Here in the public forum, such discussions about reality, existence and cosmology are naturally going to share crossover content relevant to religion and science.
One merely sees what the lack of education (including science education) has done to the middle east and other parts of the world.
You see the many nations in which religion has a say in governing the people and you can see why education advocates and scientists can't ever let the lions lay down with the lambs.
The scientists and educators are the lambs.
