um dos assuntos recorrentes do debate sobre o ateísmo é a identidade que a tese do conflito entre ciência e religião costuma ocupar no discurso. A criação e divulgação da “tese de conflito” tem respaldo nas obras neoateístas. Sendo muito importante tanto os posicionamentos mais favoráveis à religião, neste caso, temos as afirmações de Stephen Jay Gould, que luta contra os aspectos negativos da tese. Por outro lado há pensadores ateus como Sam Harris e Richard Dawkins, que estão contra as afirmações de Gould, como se a tese de conflito fosse parte importante da identicidade ateísta. Este trabalho visa pensar como os dois lados antagônicos se posicionam.

Stephen Jay Gould, the biologist and author, once joked that were he an identical twin raised separately from his brother they could ‘hire ourselves out to a host of social scientists and practically name our fee’. In order to monetise Gould’s fantasy, one would want a form of twinship that could operate according to evidential, experimental, somatic and circumstantial ideals. And Gould admits that he and his brother would need to be viewed as ‘the only really adequate natural experiment for separating genetic from environmental effects in humans’. This chapter seeks to interrogate the evidential and experimental circumstances that may underpin the comic quips that guide modern biology. In human genetics, twins are used as experimental bodies that are made to matter in particular ways and for particular people; they become newly ‘animate’ for being enrolled into scientific research. Raised in cultures assumed to be alike or dissimilar, isolated by researchers for being valuable in the measured disentanglement of assembled molecular agents (which are sometimes distinguished from an assemblage referred to as an ‘environment’), twins achieve a status of experimental significance not just for what they do but also for what they are taken to be.

A well-known argument of David Hume is presented and refuted. The argument concerns the notion that the natural world may be self-contained, for all we know, and religious claims are superfluous. This is essentially the position also advocated by Richard Dawkins, in slightly different terms. These arguments are presented, and then it is explained that they fail, owing to what amounts to a false premise. This is subtle because the false premise is in the very way the discussion is framed. If one assumes that when we are talking about God we are talking about abstract intellectual tools, then one goes wrong. Various witnesses are invoked to show that thoughtful religious language operates differently.
