That wasn’t my point, these persons in today’s scientific anti religious climate would have been attacked for having a religious view points which would possibly have undermined their experimentation according to the atheists controlling the scientific leftist hegemony!(look at what happened to E Forest Mimms iii when he expressed a pro life view point in a political setting...his columns were canceled in the Scientific American magazine) Having religious view points caused folks like Newton and Mendel to be scientifically honest in their investigations. Occam’s razor, so highly valued as a scientific tool of reasoning was first developed by William of Ockham...a FRIAR!( you know one of the pro-God, Pro-Christ religious bigots(/sarcasm) that all the modern atheist scientist love to hate!
Reflections on a provocative subject.
The Greeks of Antiquity gave us eternal Laws and Rules in Mathematics and Physics. So too did Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Von Leibniz; among other great minds.
So what have the moderns produced? Most notably: Evolution and Relativity; both Theories. Bottom line is this.
There is an obvious inverse relationship between the rigor of the scientific proof and the degree of zealotry on the part of its acolytes.
I am a scientist who does research at a major university. In my experience there is no anti-religious climate in science. I don’t know nor do I care about the religious affiliation of the people I encounter—it simply isn’t an issue. And FWIW, Mimms didn’t work for SA. He wanted to be an editor there and wrote some pieces, but just wasn’t hired.
