# There is, of course, Atheology, which may be defined as : the science of 
gods, goddesses, and God, which assumes an anthropogenic origin of all 
deities, whereby an attempt at definition by clerics is demolished, to leave 
only Nature, as such.
   Science is concerned with the Natural; if any Supernatural is proven it 
becomes part of the Natural world.  Hence, we may have to await a Second 
Coming - granting a First.
   However, define your god, in, say, 100 words, and see where we go from 
there.
