Avaruuden tutkijat

"Ongelmahan on tässä argumentissa, että nämä "Avaruuden tutkijat" ovat kaikki olleet kristittyjä!"

Älä valehtele.

kristittyjäkö?

Suurimmat tähtitieteilijät löytyivät jo muinaisina aikoina Kreikasta, Babyloniasta ja lähi-idästä.

Eikös se mennyt niin, että tänäkin päivänä n.70% tähdistä omaa arabiankielisen nimen?
Krisset alkoivat vasta parisataa vuotta sitten edes tutkimaan taivasta. Suurin osa krisse-ajan tähtitieteilijöistäkin on ollut deistejä.

Mitä tulee nykyaikaan, niin muistaakseni vain 7% "American National Academy of Sciences":in jäsenistä uskoo jumalaan, loput ovat ateisteja, agnostikkoja, skeptikkoja tai eivät ota kantaa. Ison-Britanian "Royal Society":ssa ainoastaan 3.3% uskoo jumalaan. Joten tiedettä tehdään nykyään melko ateistiselta pohjalta....mikä on hyvä juttu.

Sitten vielä vaikka tämmöinen kiva tutkimus
(osoitteesta www.physorg.com/news102700045.html):
The first systematic analysis in decades to examine the religious beliefs and practices of elite academics in the sciences supports the notion that science professors at top universities are less religious than the general population, but attributes this to a number of variables that have little to do with their study of science.

The 2005-07 study, "Religion Among Academic Scientists" (RAAS) was conducted by Elaine Howard Ecklund, assistant professor of sociology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University at Buffalo and principal investigator.

The study is based on a survey of 1,646 academic scientists at 21 elite research universities and in-depth interviews with 271 of them.

The survey sample consisted of academics in seven different natural and social science disciplines: physics, chemistry, biology, sociology, economics, political science, psychology and sub-fields like molecular biology, biochemistry, social psychology and neuroscience. The rate of response to the survey was nearly 75 percent, which Ecklund says is extremely high for a faculty survey.

The first article based the study, co-authored by Christopher Scheitle of Penn State, appears in the current issue of the journal Social Problems (Vol. 54, No. 2).

"Our study data do not strongly support the idea that scientists simply drop their religious identities upon professional training, due to an inherent conflict between science and faith, or to institutional pressure to conform," Ecklund says.

"It is important to understand this," she adds, "because we face religio-scientific controversies over stem-cell research and evolution, for instance, and increased debate about the role of religion in both national politics and in the public policies that influence science.

"In order to have the meaningful dialogue between scientists and the general population important to the advancement of science," Ecklund says, "we need comprehensive information about the religious beliefs and practices of scientists themselves. Although academic scientists at elite universities teach and train future leaders of American universities, media, primary and secondary education, medicine and government, there actually has been little systematic study of their religious beliefs and identities."

Niin...
