Does the Higgs Boson Discovery Resolve the Religion-Science Debate?

17. Getting lamer every time

Empirical, scientific inquiry had put the lie to Apollo hauling the sun around well before Kepler Newton or Copernicus came along. Though guys like that did help put the lie to the claim that comets were messages of doom from the gods. And when science can provide an explanation for something that needs no gods, that DOES bear on the likelihood of any gods claimed to be responsible actually existing, and on how people evaluate that likelihood. The fact that some people still need to insert god in there no matter what doesn't change that.

And this is not about any particular god, any particular religion or any particular period in the history of science. It is about the blanket (and nonsensical) claim "Science says absolutely nothing about gods." ANY gods, not just the Christian one.
