Q's

If science can give scientific explanations for the origins of ethics, etc., does this render theological explanations as useless or impossible? I ask this question pertaining to anything actually. Does a scientific explanation of anything render all theological explanations of that situation as something not worth bothering with? Is it possible that scientfic explanations are a component within something greater than science itself and beyond what science can explain? Is science limited, or is it possible for science to explain every phenomenon present to consciousness? As far as ethics, is it possible that the possible origins of stemming from social evolution was inevitable in the blueprint of the development potential within consciousness? What I mean is that humans reaching the state of ethical development was an inevitable step in the unfolding of the universe.

Science does not prove or disprove the idea of God. It gives circumstantial evidence to make us think it may not be the case. For instance the Darwinists believe that they are compatible with the theology of deism. The idea that God created the world and established the laws that by which it would operate yet had no other influence. But if religious belief is reduced to being so abstract than is it worth having? Maybe something besides God is in every particle. Maybe every atom is run by its own organic properties.
