This is a sillie and basically dishonest argument, Berlinski.
Science is the process whereby orthodoxies are overthrown by heresies.
Scientists are heretics.
Just as geo-centrism was suceeded by helio-centrism, creationism/intelligentdesign (the orthodoxy) was suceeded by ToE (theory of evolution) the heresy.
And yes, there is a significant, even a strong correlation between profession:scientist and faith:none, but the hidden variable is most likely IQ.
This post is IQ-baiting, just like the movie Expelled.
How seductive, how infinitely appealing is this meme?
You are just as smart as those snobby scientists!
You are smart where it really matters!
god-smart!
