That was a quibble. How else can one speak to a religious fellow unless we find a common language. My point being, that if everything was Created by God, then the only true religion is science, because it explores the reality of things, be it the human mind, evolution, all the, "ologies". Science explores with exactitude all aspects of what religions claims to be Creation and when science proves something about a part of nature within this Creation, religion should be the first group to accept the findings with excitement and gratitude.
Whereas religion deals with myth, metaphor, speculation and abstraction as a means to support a punishment and reward scenario regarding the human spirit. The practical reality of religion is mostly overlooked, that being to engender, in-the-present, unity and non-judgemental love between humans and look how well they handled that one obligatory task.
And as far as the vast majority of humans who have ever lived are concerned, they have already determined that the universe was Created. This is not evidence that you or the majority of the scientific community will ever accept. Science most likely will never have access to empirical evidence that the world has a Causation, because the Cause can't be part of what it Caused. So if you rely on science alone to prove Creation, it will never happen. If you rely on some kind of personal experience, then this has no basis in reality, it is only human perception.
So no matter how one dresses up religion, or science, neither of them will ever prove Creation, the existence of God, or if humans have an eternal spirit.
