It can&#x27;t do this even in principle.  Atheism is therefore the product of a philosophical view, rather than a product of the scientific evidence.  A scientist, then, should not take a dogmatic view on this, especially not a militant one.  If a scientist does so, he&#x2F;she should recognize that it is unconnected to science.<p>[Edit: clarity.]
