My perception is that it is a contradiction in terms to claim that a
scientific theory is anti-theistic. Scientific theories deal with natural
phenonena, not with first causes or supernatural or spiritual issues.
_People_ can be anti-theistic, and they can even try to enlist the support
of scientific theories for their anti-thestic positions. But I believe it
is illogical to say that a scientific theory is anti-theistic.
