It's just as arrogant to declare the absence of a God as it is to declare the primacy of one.
Science can neither prove nor disprove the existence of a deity or deities, and therefore scientists should not absolutely declare the impossibility of such a being.
This isn't about matching punches with the religious fundamentalists, it's about staying true to science, which demands, in it's most pure state, an open mind at all times that only responds to measurable, verifiable results.
