What is at stake in the theist vs. atheist debate?
What role do you think science plays in the debate?
Science has contributed greatly to the atheist side of the debate by offering explanations for how the universe and life on Earth came to be that do not rely on the existence of a higher power. However, science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God or gods, as they exist outside of the natural world that science can study. Ultimately, the debate between theists and atheists is one of belief rather than empirical evidence.
