“Right now I find myself lying awake at three in the morning,” says Alison Kirkpatrick, an astronomer at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, “and wondering if everything I’ve done is wrong.”

The Religion of Science.

Many (but not all) scientists say religion and God are a total crock. They say that religion is based on beliefs, not on facts like their god-like science.

But those scientists themselves are a crock (when it comes to religion, faith, and God). Science itself, to a certain degree as many scientists frame it, is a Religion. But those scientists will never admit that clear fact. Yet many scientists are as dogmatic and as political as the far-left Democrats and atheists (which most scientists seem to be). Of course, if you're a scientist and you're conservative or Republican, you need to keep your political and religious views to yourself, otherwise, the scientific community will ostracize you. That's just the way it is. But the arrogant scientific community will never admit that either. That's why I say the scientific community in general is a crock. Not so much the science itself. But the scientific community when it doesn't stay in its lane and instead yaps about politics and religion, both about which it has no clue.

It's so bad that you can frequently watch some of the top theoretical physicists in the world talking out their arses about religion and politics. Sad.

Allison Kirkpatrick is a particularly egregious one, and I quote,

“My specific contributions include chairing our department’s newly founded Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee. The DEI Committee is working to improve a sense of welcoming for all undergraduates in the department, and we are committed to ensuring equitable graduate admissions practices. I also am the faculty liaison for the Diversity in Physics group, which has regular meetings to socialize, talk about issues in the field, and outreach to the community. Finally, I am the Co-Director for the university’s Multicultural Scholars Program, where I provide mentoring and professional development opportunities for underrepresented students majoring in the natural sciences.”
