There are tangible sciences (physics, chemistry, biology, etc) which are fine. It's all that theoretical nonsense that's just a waste of time and money. These assholes literally waste manpower trying (futilely) to prove that God doesn't exist.
Lemme tell you something about theoretical science: it goes to the highest bidder. I've said it before, but if the Christian church paid them enough, NASA would claim to have made contact with God, himself.
