Reminds me of the story an old field theory prof told me. When a student, his land lady removed notes about Heisenberg's unified field theory from his room because she thought they were occult writings. That, however, was in the late 50s
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
