re: #317 Political Atheist

I don’t see the triviality or where it would apply. The article did specifically say “scientists” so I’m not sure where we disagree if at all.

You’d have to tell me if we disagree, I still can’t understand your point.

15% of some of the most prestigious scientists in the world believe in God. Ergo, believing in god and being a kick-ass scientist are not inconsistent.

What makes however many credentialed scientists have faith any more important than their lifestyle choices or politics? Or fashion?

Not really sure what this is supposed to mean, again. The point, in context, is that believing in God doesn’t invalidate you as a scientist.

Are we not catering to a false connection anyway just by entertaining the stats of scientists and faith? Good for show ratings or interest maybe but really a “meh” connection.

Again, no clue what you mean by this. Do you get that Tyson’s point was that faith isn’t incompatible with being a good scientist, or not?
