The following possibility could occur, atleast somewhere, or at sometime:
If there is an atheist alive today who is BRILLIANT at practicing and studying science by looking at the evidence but who has no degrees and he is therefore what you could call an 'amateur scientist' , is he not; more of a scientist; than someone for example, who could have all the degrees that 'make' him a scientist... but is in fact terrible at studying and practicing science despite his degree, someone who is in fact a terrible scientist... and who is also, for arguments sake, a creationist.
Is the amateur scientist not more of a scientist? Since the amateur atheist scientist actually STUDIES and PRACTICES science PROPERLY by looking at the EVIDENCE...Considering that's what a scientist DOES...doesn't that makes him a scientist? You can have all the degrees, but if you don't truly practice and study science properly...you're no more than a pseudo-scientist...a fake scientist, disguised as a true scientist, - ESPECIALLY if you actually BELIEVE IN GOD. You can be partly scientific if you believe in God...but supernatural beliefs can interfere with science....because supernatural beliefs; are NOT scientific. So TRUE scientists... don't believe in the supernatural... because science is about truth...and supernature almost certainly...isn't true.
