atheist atheism care
Most scientists I know don't care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists.

religious atheist thinking
Its a consequence of the experience of science. As you learn more and more about the universe, you find you can understand more and more without any reference to supernatural intervention, so you lose interest in that possibility. Most scientists I know dont care enough about religion even to call themselves atheists. And that, I think, is one of the great things about science-that it has made it possible for people not to be religious.

With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

My advice is to go for the messes - that's where the action is.

science arguing argument
Rational argument can be defeated by refusing to argue rationally.
way may theory
It appears that anything you say about the way that theory and experiment may interact is likely to be correct, and anything you say about the way that theory and experiment must interact is likely to be wrong.
reason-why boring reason
Elementary particles are terribly boring, which is one reason why we're so interested in them.
thinking historical good-things
I think one of the great historical contributions of science is to weaken the hold of religion. That's a good thing.
