That strikes me as either you misunderstood my words or otherwise are disingenuously changing them, though I won't assume that it is the case. So, please re-read my first paragraph and then allow me to correct you. I said there was nothing philosophically impossible with a scientist also being religious; he can subjectively compartmentalize reality from fantasy however he deems fit. However, no assumption that demands a religious framework is necessary to do science, and in fact, cannot be done as science. If it could, you could demonstrable God through scientific examination of purported miracles and revelations. Unfortunately, your evidence here tends to be fodder for a History Channel program, not a serious examination.
