My point is that because you can neither prove nor disprove the existence of gods, gods have no place in anything that calls itself scientific.

If you want to believe in Intelligent Design that is fine, it's a free country, but it isn't a scientific belief and has nothing to do with science.




Why restrict ourselves to the purely scientific?


Because anything else is offtopic. For some reason people always see fit to bring up their personal religious beliefs when the topic is biology, but it doesn't often get brought up when the discussion is, say, the formation of stars and planets. I don't know why that is, but I know that one tangent is not more appropriate than the other.
