Yeah, not so much. Darwin published 'On The Origin of Species' 23 years before his death (his impetus was mainly that Wallace was going to beat him to it) and Einstein didn't 'toil in obscurity' for very long - he was widely known (among other physicists, at least) by the time he was 26.

Bold mine,
Did I say this?!
May I repeat what I said:
A typical atheist doesn’t mind believing an idea, beyond his personal experience, if said scientific and approved by certain scientists, privileged by the high class.
In other words, does, in general, an atheist (or a theist, actually) believe a new idea (discovery) if not approved worldwide first by certain scientists (other than the discoverers) who are privileged by the high class?
