science makes god obsolete? No, it just can't be bothered with him.
So far all i have seen to justifiable an unprovable concept and science something based of of proof are personal attribute cherry picked to conform to reality.
Why exactly does it have to be 1 god and only such? The world could have come totally naturally,but then pathegens were created by a gang of intergalitical trolls who wanted to screw us over

Sorry, but I fail to see the lesson in the creation story. Exactly what in it is useful? I CAN see a lesson in the story of Adam and Eve though: don't seek knowledge, because "God" doesn't want you to know too much.
