Some proponents of the scientific theory of evolution reject the idea of a philosophy or world view that guides their conclusions in scientific experimentation.
Some proponents of the scientific theory of evolution reject the idea of a philosophy or world view that guides their conclusions in scientific experimentation. However, the evolutionists who are 'strong atheists' (they make a positive assertion that there is no God) do, in fact have a world view, whereas the 'weak atheists' (they say there is probably no God due to lack of any objective evidence of Him) rely on science.
'''Strong Atheism'''
* There is no God (world view)
* There is no God (world view)
** Therefore we need to explain everything based on that "fact"
** Therefore we need to explain everything based on that "fact"
*** Thus science is done on the basis of there being no God (i.e. [[naturalism (science)|naturalism]])
*** Thus science is done on the basis of there being no God (i.e. [[naturalism (science)|naturalism]])
**** Naturalism comes ''before'' the science. The science is based on the world view.

'''Weak Atheism'''
* So far, there is no objective proof of God
** Therefore, we do not need to interpret evidence to fit in with the "fact" of God's existence
*** Thus science is done on the basis of there being no God (unless His existence becomes objectively proven)
**** The world view relies on the evidence, so the science comes ''before'' the world view.
