Ignorant Atheists?

[Edwardo Piet]

Oh, come on. Be fair.

There's many areas where a religious mind has no impact on the results. Religious people CAN be scientific.

It's just when religious assumptions are taken as valid axioms that things go horribly wrong.

True, true. I just mean they're not a FULL scientist because they think religiously aswell and religious thinking contradicts scientific thinking.

And it CAN...it doesn't always but it CAN always atleast carry the risk of interfering with science...as far as I'm concerned that's not how a proper scientific mind works....

Sure you can get a religious scientist who's religion doesn't interfere with their science - and who still makes some good scientific discoveries - but it always has the potential to...and I don't think the two can go hand in hand in such a way that a religious scientist can be a FULL...PROPER scientist...because there's always the risk of their FAITH f**king up the science when the scientific part of the mind wouldn't f**k it up....that's not how a proper scientist works as far as I'm concerned.

I think regardless of how good a religious scientist may be...their FAITH always runs the risk of f**king everything up....and I think that demotes them from a FULL scientist to atleast a SEMI pseudo-scientist or whatever.

In my mind science and faith are too much of a contradiction to be FULLY and TRULY compatible...regardless of the discoveries...if a religious scientist makes an amazing (scientific) discovery...as far as I'm concerned that's a religious-pseudo-scientist making a brilliant discovery....because he always runs the risk of taking his faith too far and that would be VERY unscientific...just because he might not have....doesn't mean he WON'T.

Simply put: Religious scientists can still be scientists but not TRUE scientists because Religion and Science aren't compatible. So that demotes religious scientists to pseudo-scientists as far as I'm concerned.
