Is science killing god?
This idea (sub-debate) sprang forth after a post on the "Do you believe in a God" debate.
As science has pushed further forward, gods are being pushed further back suffering a slow and painful death. To me, gods are finally dead, but who is responsible for the murder? Science? There are still large numbers of believers, ranging around those that refute science, those that incorporate it into their beliefs and those that don't care either way. With belief seemingly as popular as ever (if not arguably more) was Nietzsche wrong?

I view current beliefs in the same light as those beliefs in the early fertility goddesses, sun (and season) gods, gods that put alcohol into wine, threw lightening bolts and gods born from virgin birth. That is: that their gods only existed where human understanding ended, which was (is ever) only a temporary barricade. As a Darwinist and atheist, my initial vague atheism being solidified after learning about evolution, I believe that god is firmly in the coffin. And, for me it was Darwin who did the ground work, allowing Dawkins (among others) to eloquently hammer the final nail. I can't see how believers can understand evolution and refute it or allow it to exist without forcing their god to the furthest of reaches to await a slow death.
