Just imagine the fame a scientist would receive if he could prove the existence of God, by proving Intelligent Design.
The Nobel prize would be just the beginning.
Science actually loves controversy. It gives them an excuse to ask for money, to "clear up" whatever is troubling it.
This is why the conspiracy theories that science is covering up ID are so hilarious. A good scientist would give his right arm to be able to prove something as big as discovering "God".
A 'good' scientist? Is there such a man or woman out there? I don't think so. I think there are many many people who practice GREAT scientific research. I think there are great hollywood actors too, like Sterling Hayden. He really IS a great actor. He was a pretty bad man. Scientists don't really prove anything anyway. They just illuminate what is already here more effectively.
It is when they try to illuminate what is NOT here, like fossils which bridge gaps in the evolutionary record, like the working intermediate mechanisms for the development of the system that allows blood to clot when an organism is injured....
That is when scientists enter the Faith room, but still keep jumping up and down and pointing their fingers and yell 'it is science still!! you have to believe this!!"
