Comment on average red state university

I think if a thing is evident, then it’s irrelevant as to whether or not someone believes it. But it’s still a thing.

There are also a fair number of scientists that believe there may be a higher power or an afterlife that still devoutly hold to scientific study. You can be a person of science and a person of faith. As long as you don’t deny science along the way then there’s no problem with that. Now if you don’t believe in evolution or something then yes your credentials are weakened significantly, but believing that there is a higher power beyond earth doesn’t mean your test results are invalid.

As I said elsewhere in this thread: I do not trust the expertise of any scientist who is willing to believe in anything without evidence.
I do not care that these people exist. They are untrustworthy.

People are amazing at holding mutually contradictory believes, but that’s only the commentary on people. Actually, it’s part of the reason we need scientific method in the first place.
