Quote by: tinybear I don't understand Teddy's last sentence. Can anyone explain? |
Who cares what Teddy has to say about science. It is not as if he was known as a great scientist. It is a basic fallicy to take the abilities of a person in one area such as sports, politics or religion and project it into other areas such as science. It is also a very good indication of just how lame brained MB is since it is obvious that he is unawares of that fallicy. It is also a fallicy to quote any person as if they speak for everyone else. If you claim that an idea is widely held in certain circles such as scientific circles then the way you support that claim is by presenting evidence showing what the people in that group think about that idea. Also an honest person would recognize that such samples even as far back as the turn of the last century show that a majority of scientists thought that supernatural religion was hokum.

But a recent survey published in the leading science journal Nature conclusively showed that the National Academy of Science is anti-God to the core. 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. It is likely that those who didn’t respond were unbelievers as well, so the study probably underestimates the level of anti-God belief in the NAS. The unbelief is far higher than the percentage among scientists in general, or in the whole population.
