Scientists can’t believe in God?
Some scientists today strike me as arrogant. They fail to acknowledge that their school of thought sprang from Philosophy. Many would hold that Aristotle's primary school of Philosophy became the model of Western Education today. These scientists today would dismiss the 40% of scientists who no longer subscribe to a narrow theory of evolution which has no Prime Mover and David Hume who adequately critiqued science in general, and would dismiss great minds who would believe in God or at least be deist, and in either instance fall into the school of intelligent design. They would seek to dismiss the thoughts of great minds such as Nicolaus Copernicus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicolaus_Copernicus), Galileo Galilei (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileo) - who is considered the Father of Modern Astronomy, Modern Physics, and Science, and Isaac Newton (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton) who all had a belief in God either as the Christian God or as a Deity. These scientists who would have us dismiss the thoughts of philosopher scientists such as Gottfried Leibniz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebniz) who is credited with the discovery of infinitesimal calculus.
Equating religious faith to blind and willful ignorance dismisses the many great minds that helped make science what it is today!
He argues that conflicts between science and religion "have all sprung from fatal errors.", however "even though the realms of religion and science in themselves are clearly marked off from each other" and there are "strong reciprocal relationships and dependencies... science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind . . . a legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist.". -
sIt dismisses the very important contributions of:
Georges Henri Joseph Éduard Lemaître(July 17, 1894– June 20, 1966) was a BelgianRoman Catholic priest, honorary prelate, professor of physics and astronomer at the Université Catholique de Louvain. He sometimes used the title Abbé or Monsignor.
Lemaître proposed what became known as the Big Bang theory of the origin of the Universe, which he called his 'hypothesis of the primeval atom'. [1][2][3] -
