That may be true, but I wonder: When evolution is taught in schools, is it
preceded by the topic "origin of the universe"? That seems logical to me, and
I'd be willing to bet that Big Bang garners all of the press (to the exclusion
of mentioning a Creator as a "theory"), but I'm guessing. I wonder what an
atheist would have to say about such an inclusion as that?

To clarify: are you saying that the origin of the universe and the origin of
life are topics about which science cannot speak ie "outside the purview of
science"?
