Does science make belief in God obsolete?


John Templeton Foundation brought scientists and writers together to debate on whether science can make religion obsolete or not. The most interesting one for me was between the author of "God is not Great" and the editor of "the Portable Atheist", Christopher Hitchens and a professor of biology and the author of "Finding Darwin's God", Kenneth Miller.
Hitchens answered the question as "no, but it should" while Miller responded "of course not".
