The majority of scientists in the USA are people of faith. Biologists have no interest in ‘replacing God’ any more than a description of stellar or planetary formation in regards to physical forces ‘replaces God’ as the creator of the Heavens and the Earth.

lol, lol, lol Where did you get these statistics? And what "faith" exactly?lol, lol

Having worked in various scientific laboratories, I can personally attest that about 1 in 1000 believed in God, and if you did dare say that you did, you were looked at as mentally defective, which really is what scientists and other elites think about believers

I can’t speak for the majority of scientists. All I know is that the vast majority of the “elite” scientists, who wield a tremendous amount of control over the ideology of science, are in fact atheists:

“A survey of all 517 NAS members in biological and physical sciences resulted in just over half responding: 72.2% were overtly atheistic, 20.8% agnostic, and only 7.0% believed in a personal God. Belief in God and immortality was lowest among biologists.”

Stats taken from:

E.J. Larson and L. Witham, Leading Scientists Still Reject God, Nature 394(6691):313, 23 July 1998.
