Now where did you get that figure (if the term ‘figure’ can be used on such a loosely constructed proposition)? Seat-of-the-pants estimate? Informal survey? A detailed, statistically valid, study conducted by professionals? What?
I don’t believe that I’ve ever seen the premise expressed exactly the way you posit it, “The percentage of scientists who understand TTOE.” What percentage of the total are the scientists who understand the TOE? Some of my scientist acquaintances are given to insist that anyone who does not understand the TOE, is not really a scientist (they do allow for a slight variation from a categorical totality, accounting for the very few who do understand the theory but do not subscribe to it, but they also view such individuals with suspicion). So, does your study make any distinction with respect to who is considered a real scientist (aside from the obvious criteria)?
My scientist acquaintances, rather than express who are Judaeo-Christian and Scientist in terms of percentages, usually use the less precise terms “many”, or “most.” Do you understand the percentage who are Judaeo-Christian to be fairly uniform in its distribution across the various branches of science, or is there a fairly large percentage difference from one discipline to another? Does your study account for the relatively large number (or so I've been told) of Jews who are "secular" and without real religious ties? My understanding is that from 80 to 90 % of the American population is nominally Christian. What numbers does your study work with?
Anyhow, on what basis do you make your assertion?
Absent specific data to the contrary, distributions remain the same across populations.
If you are saying the science community is somehow skewed from the general populace, it is YOUR responsibility to show statistics I am wrong. And I probably know many more scientists than you do and have found no predilection away from the USA norm. My anecdotes match yours so that is a wash.
Are you just looking for a "gotcha?"
Is there a point to your post? Are you asserting that scientists have less faith than non-scientists?
As far as the "who understand TToE, I put that in there to exclude the extreme and tiny population of non-Life Sciences scientists who do not understand TToE. It is there for clarity.
