Deist vs. Atheist
With regard to science there is no difference since the deist does not allow for divine intervention. The god of the deist is disinterested in the universe and therefore does not interfere.

Re: Deist vs. Atheist
Percy,
By "disinterested" I meant that a deist god does not intervene in the the project of the universe. He just winds it up and lets it go. I suppose such a god might be interested to observe when things crash. But such a god is immoral in the extreme. But not intervening, he has no interest in the betterment of the world when things go wrong. So you might as well be an atheist.
On the other hand, the proof that the Biblical God does intervene is in the bible. My expertise is biblical chronology -- and the solution, and it is self verifying if you care to find out that the Biblical God is better than the deist god. See the link below.
