"Sensible people do not ignore all the evidence gathered since 1350 or try to filter it through a medieval mindset to reach the conclusion they desire"

"If people can't deal with that, it's not a problem with the science, it's their own personal problem."


What year was the printing press with movable type invented in?

What was the first book printed with that printing press?

What year did the scientific revolution start (Kepler, Francis Bacon etc.)?

Who was Einstein referring to when he remarked 'had made the greatest change in our conception of reality'

Perhaps there is a connection....[ Many historians (for ex. Francis Schaeffer) have explored the topic in detail.]

Perhaps Michael Faraday, one of the greatest physicists of and one of the finest experimenters of all time (according to Einstein), was not a 'sensible' person because he like Bacon was convinced that the book of God's world and the book of God's word had the same author.

Perhaps we would still be living without electricity if Faraday didn't explore the book of God's world.

Perhaps Fadaday didn't have a "personal problem."
Perhaps Darwin and subsequent followers had/have a their "own personal problem" with God.

Perhaps, maybe or possibly, you might have an assertion problem.

Einstein was not a creationist.

Perhaps Michael Faraday, one of the greatest physicists of and one of the finest experimenters of all time (according to Einstein), was not a 'sensible' person because he like Bacon was convinced that the book of God's world and the book of God's word had the same author.

The fact that one has to go back to the mid-1800's or earlier to find great scientists who didn't 'believe' in evolution is hardly a point in favor of its apologetic opponents.

Perhaps Darwin and subsequent followers had/have a their "own personal problem" with God.

Darwin doesn't have "followers" any more than any of the other great scientists you mentioned. The only people who seem to attribute to Darwin this sort of reverence are those who, for some strange reason, are hellbent in denying what it is that he discovered.
