(many) Scientists of modern have reacted with a vengeance, proclaiming everything unseen and non-measurable to be fantasy and delusion. Many are becoming as dogmatic as Churchanity authorities - their own modern inquisition of thought, declaring with all self-rightous certainty that we're strictly little machines running around in a machine universe governed by immutable laws.

Its become taboo, even sacrilege for scientists to explore the divine as though any deviation of Newtonian physics as the ultimate answer, even though this 17th century thinking has been trumped by quantum physics and the belief or at least the possibility of the divine is becoming not just faith but scientific.

Scientists are not required to be atheists. They are welcome to explore the divine on their own in their religious lives.

I know a point a lot of ID/Crevos make is that science is a religion, but perhaps it will help if you keep repeating to yourself: Religion is not science; Religion is not science; Religion is not science.

Kind of like a Gregorian chant if you do it with the right rhythm

Your assessment bears no relation to reality. Reading too much Deepak Chopra perhaps?
