re: #265 Political Atheist

The point is that there are plenty of scientists that believe in god or a higher power.

That was Tyson’s point too.

The quote is “scientists” in the LAT article. Unless that is incorrect there may be more scientists to ask about their faith than what the 15% of a specific group may imply.

That 15% of the specific group doesn’t imply anything about scientists in general.

Besides faith is no reason to think less of the intelligence of a scientist or anyone else. So why is that number important anyway?

Because it trivially demonstrates you can believe in God and be a good scientist.
