Why do so many scientists believe in God? Tim Radford reports

Yes...the article says......
""'Science cannot provide all the answers' Why do so many scientists

The answer is easy and straight forward. It's because they're morons.
Simple.

Great answer. Scientists who don't believe in a God are geniuses;
those--such
as Newton--who believed in a God--are morons. Yeah, if Newton and the
others
are morons you're...what?
But Newton didn't believe in the Bible Belt fundamentalist God.

LOL. What a cop out. So someone makes you eat your words, and you try to
crawfish away from those words with some gobbledegook nonsense.
I never heard of a "Bible Belt fundamentalist God," except in your
jargon. If
there is such a thing as God, He's not a "Bible Belt fundamentalist God,"
or
anything strawman label you try to come up with. A God is a God, if there
is
one, and you trying to devise strawman gods to try and save face is not
going
to determine his existence or lack of same one way or the other.
What he was probably trying to say was his religious beliefs were not the
same as the fundies. Certainly it must be obvious, even to you, that the
biblical literalists amongst the protestants believe quite differently from
Catholics or even the Deists among the founders. Proof is found in the
fundies' own invective, referring to Catholics as "Mary Worshippers" and
other religions as "cultists" . To say that they are all the same is really
quite ignorant.
I know what he was trying to say in his last post, but did you follow from the
beginning. He was trying to bak track and weasel out of what he said
originally, that was dismissing out of hand the fact that there are scientists
who believe in a God.
I don't know what you people call "fundies" or if you, yourselves, even know,
because everytime I see it used, it is as an empty perjorative. But your
argument is a non sequitur--quite beside the point of the fact that there *are*
scientists who believe in a God.
But which God? That's why mainstream Christians tell that
fundamentalists worship the Satan God.
I thought the mainstream folk called them "biblolaters" or something like
that for worshiping the bible...
