Science deals in the tangible and abstract, not the spiritual. I feel like the deeply religious view scientific discoveries as attacks on their belief system when those discoveries might negate the word of God as written by man. If evolution was fact, it wouldn't make religion less relevant.

FWIW, I believe in God.
My point has little to do with creationism or religion.
It has to do with evolution.

Nye laments religion working its way into the schools and interfering with science.
This is a common complaint among evolutionists.

My question: If they're so concerned about religion interfering with science,
then why do they keep bringing it up when debating evolution?
