They [scientists] can be as corrupt as a prophet who claims God tells him to collect money and women from amongst his flock.

IIRC, Leon Lederman, Nobelist in physics and director of Fermilab, was quoted as saying (more or less) "Science is not a religion. If it were we'd have a lot easier time raising money."

But you know, it gets more complicated than that--most of the funding at places like Fermilab is appropriated by Congress, and since the ACLU places walls of separation between church and state, then if science were a religion, they'd have to get their funding somewhere else... :-)
