No, Pasteur was Christian, and put no stock in evoism.
Louis Pasteur was a Catholic.
Bill Maher doesn't believe in germ theory or pharmaceuticals:
But it turns out that the late-night comic is no icon of rationality himself. In fact, he is a fervent advocate of pseudoscience. The night before his performance on Conan O'Brien, Mr. Maher told David Letterman -- a quintuple bypass survivor -- to stop taking the pills that his doctor had prescribed for him. He proudly stated that he didn't accept Western medicine. On his HBO show in 2005, Mr. Maher said: "I don't believe in vaccination. . . . Another theory that I think is flawed, that we go by the Louis Pasteur [germ] theory." He has told CNN's Larry King that he won't take aspirin because he believes it is lethal and that he doesn't even believe the Salk vaccine eradicated polio.
Interesting and illustrative. When you throw out the priest he isn't replaced by a scientist, he is replaced with the witch doctor.
Excuse me.
I thought you people understood analogies. But then I forgot for a moment where you all were “coming from”.
