I've always wondered - what would happen if one day, somehow this argument was settled one way or another?

If Science's theory of Evolution was the real answer, does that push God out of the equation? do you think Religion would go out the window? no, now people would just say that God created a universe where evolution was possible.

if it was proved that God just smacked some life onto Earth, would science then be useless? no, because science is meant to observe nature and understand it. The only change would be that the existence of God would be a more widely held belief.

So, I guess I don't see the point in having the massive discussion for such a blah result.
