Gotta say, most scientists I have known are quite humble about their ignorance. If more scientists than other people are atheists, it’s because they are finding nothing but natural explanations.
Scientists who are atheists believe we are an extraordinarily unlikely accident, and are keenly aware that we could easily have never existed at all. Now THAT’s humbing. They feel that relying on a God to have put it all together is a cop-out, especially as every year, more “mysteries” turn out to have natural explanations.
Yet they are accused of arrogance by people who insist that we are the special creations of God, destined to rule the earth? Who’s arrogant?
I’ve never met more arrogant people than Creationists, and more deceitful people do not exist. Expelled is based on flat-out lies…read the Scientific American series on it, no one was forced out, no one was fired. He simply made up the story.
And for the record, I’m a believer myself.
