The source I cited quoted a study. Others I’ve seen show up to 30% to 35% of “scientists” believing in God. Obviously highly dependent on definition of “scientist.”
Your criticism of the source is not necessarily appropriate. Yes, the website is leftwing and atheist. Where else are you more likely to find information on this subject? The obvious leaning of a site does not inherently mean their quotation from other sources is necessarily inaccurate or biased.
The article they cited was published in Nature, a respected journal, which has leftist lean, but then do you know of any scientific journals that lean right? Which kind of supports my point.
Your link is irrelevant. We were discussing the actual religiosity of active American scientists, not the historical prevalence of belief in God among dead scientists. Only three of those mentioned even lived into the 20th. All have been dead for more the 50 years now.
Do you understand that my point is not about whether religious belief is compatible with scientific knowledge or practice? Obviously it is, or can be. My point is that most working scientists today are atheists or agnostics, and of the remainder even fewer would be considered relatively orthodix Christians or Jews by most on this site, much less conservative versions thereof.
Haven’t you noticed the recent discussion of scientists blackballed for hiring or tenure for being Christians? Or articles by Christian scientists about how they feel obliged to keep their faith under wraps until they achieve tenure? Doesn’t this indicate to you the overwhelming majority of their colleagues find open belief to be unacceptable?
I think many are misunderstanding your points.
As a Christian I would have to agree with you. Hence the reason so many Christians have turned to homeschooling.
The most destructive setting for our young children and young adults is within the secular, anti-religious school system.
