Even if even if every scientist in the world were a monster of depravity, it would have no bearing on the correctness of their empirical statements and theories.
Nraby just gave me an interesting post, which though often stated in sentiment, gave me a spark:
Science cannot claim God, one way or the other. (This is known by common virtue)
Where the problem lies is that many scientists have come to the conclussion that since God is undetectable by science, then He must not exist. This would be relating to "the correctness of their empirical statements and theories"
Any statement made by any scientist regarding the existance of God is to be known for what it is: an opinion outside of their own field.
