first of all kudos on the citations; thank you for your effort.

I don't think these prove that the question is about religion vs science. the question is philosophical, and the fact that some religious people have a take on it that doesn't agree with what would be the scientific/technical answer doesn't make it about religion vs science.

if a tree falls and no one around to hear it, does it make a sound? that would also have a scientific answer, and depending on the religion, you may have a religious argument that disagrees with the scientific answer. the question would remain a philosophical one, and not one of science vs religion.

I wasn’t trying to prove the question is about religion vs science; I was responding to the previous comment that said:

literally no one in the world means that

My links show lots of people in the world say that. Not everyone, but enough that it does come up sometimes.

There are multiple facets and perspectives in every philosophical question.
