Scientists aim to make God unnecessary (Talk.Origins)

Claim CA602.2:

The goal of many scientists, especially evolutionists and cosmologists, is to explain the universe without God. They want to make God unnecessary.

CreationWiki response:

As is typical, Talk Origins is showing ignorance of the uses of God as an explanation. While God Himself can not be investigated essentially observed, or scientifically faslifiable, His actions or creation can be evaluated or implied to come from supernaturalism rather than naturalistic means. His actions as Creator can be evaluated in terms of the design principle, such as similarities, resulting from the similarity in function, and differences result from differences in function. As a result God is useful as an explanation for the existence of life and natural laws to explain it, just as abiogenesis is for evolution.

The fact that some people would still find a personal necessity for God has no affect on Morris's claim. Note he said, “They want to make God unnecessary” as opposed to making God unnecessary to every one.

This is particularly true of creation scientists, and they are consistant in doing so. For an evolutionist however, to do so, would just show how they are being intellectually inconsistant.
