In the meantime science has sat on the sidelines & quietly watched this game of words march up & down the field. Despite the fact that science has revolutionized every aspect of human life & greatly clarified our understanding of the world somehow the notion has arisen that it has nothing to say about the possibility of a supreme being which much of humanity worships as the source of all reality. Physicist Victor J. Stenger contends that if God exists some evidence for this existence should be detectable by scientific means especially considering the central role that God is alleged to play in the operation of the universe & the lives of humans.
