===Spread of anti-God philosophies===

===Spread of anti-God philosophies===

In science, the downfall of Metaphysical anti-theistic ideas has been the lumping together of [[Operation science|operational]] and [[Origin science|origins science]]. The obvious limitations of [[historical science]] began to be ignored and anti-God philosophies such as [[evolutionism]] started to masquerade as science. Despite many profound weaknesses, [[Enlightenment]] 'scientists' began to apply these philosophical ideas to the interpretation of the world in which we live.
