Are these valid definitions?

Question

Newtonian Gravitist - someone who sees objects fall and thinks it's because of a force pulling them to the Earth (instead of thinking G-d pushes everything to Earth).
Atomist - someone who sees matter and thinks it's made up of tiny patterns called atoms (instead of thinking it's all solid).
Germist - someone who sees infections and thinks they are caused by microscopic creatures called germs (instead of thinking infections are a punishment from G-d).
Evolutionist - someone who sees the diversity of life on earth and thinks it's because all creatures evolved from a remote common ancestor (instead of thinking G-d created each 'kind' separately.).

they are right as long as you include anything that is NOT that definition in the brackets as well.

For example, germists think that diseases and infections are caused by microorganisms. That's all they think. They don't think that and instead of God punishing us, that's not the theory.

What does the semi-equation (arithmetic operation I suppose) "G minus d" have to do with any of this?

They are valid G-D is in everything & we cannot remove Him from anything.

Anonymous · Answer

They are not valid because you are including God in with. You cannot do that with science. Reason being is science is neither theistic or atheist. Science is neutral when it comes to those kind of things.

Now, now!  Don't go asking theists to be reasonable about such things.

None of that stuff is in their training manuals.
