That's what happens when you mix the polarity on your magnetic
bracelets, they cancel each other out. (And that's why your copper
bracelet turned green, negative energy dude).

Even if "God" could be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt science could
not include it because it would then cease being science and it would
no longer work.

Science doesn't address the "God" issue but that doesn't prevent the
scientists from believing in a God. Both believers and nonbelievers
abuse science for their religious stance and this is wrong no matter
who is doing it.

The Bible never helped anyone find an oil reserve and a lab manual
never helped a religious ceremony.
