"The existence of God is one theoretical explanation, believed by many including scientists, so I see no intellectual reason why it should not be mentioned as such. Quite the contrary, actually, if we are to be intellectually honest."

There is a great deal of mystery at the heart of the matter. We know, for example how photosynthesis works to trap the sun's energy in a plant cell, and movement from organism to organism. We can even watch the transfer of energy within the cell. But we don't know any more about how that non-living form of energy becomes life or even if it actually does. This is true in the cycles of the earth as well, like oxygen cycles and nitrogen cycles. We know about mitosis and myosis but we don't know how a human soul gets enmeshed with the biology we call a human being... or even how to define that non-physical awareness we call soul. The lab cloak clerics have a simple answer, 'then there aint no sech a thang' ... lol

If your opponents here want to be 'intellectually honest' about it then they would agree that the science texts suggest non-religious explanations for these mysteries... explanations that require just as much faith (in the lab cloak clerics) as you have in your religion.

Much of science is the simple fact gatherings of physics, chemistry, and living organisms. If they left it at that, (which they can't) I would agree with them that the more mysterious aspects of existence could best be covered in a separate venue, such as philosophy and comparative religion classes.
