I can't see a majority of scientists saying "We were wrong, God is real and we all better start going to church" - I wish I did ! But don't think I will, belief in God for a scientist is paramount to career suicide isn't it ?

"I can't see a majority of politicians saying "We were wrong, God isn't real and we all better stop pretending to know his will " - I wish I did ! But don't think I will, non belief in God for a politician is paramount to career suicide in America isn't it ?"
@JohnTheAtheist:
If simply having a belief in God makes you an idiot that makes most of the people alive today idiots. Just because someone beliefs in God alone does not make them an idiot.
I may not believe in God, but I can acknowledge that simply because someone disagrees with me on this doesn't automatically make the other person an idiot. Incredibly intelligent people can sometimes be wrong.
There are intelligent theists (and as far as I can tell, Jakraziel seems to be one of these). There are also stupid atheists.
Tantamount to career suicide, tantamount !
Paramount is a film studio! ( I know it has another meaning, too lazy to google right now.)
It's fine and good that you want to use them thar big-learnin' words to make your bullshittery seem legitimate, but please, learn what the fucking words mean before you open the floodgates of logistic nonsensery.
Nope.
Oddly enough, Scientoligists can fuck right off and pick up Anton Lavey on the way. Look you fuckers: We don't need evil imported from anywhere, we're quite capable of it on our own. Mostly in modern churchs and religious dogma.
Here's the scientists obligation to the Bible. Read it. You'll find all the western world scientists have. You'll find the Asian scientists have and you'll find they ALL know it better than you.
But I digress, excessively.
P.S. I know Anton Lavey's church is a joke. But it's the best joke ever played on tax loopholes and Americans definition of Tax-free status religions before Scientology.
Ever hear of a guy named Georges Lemaître?
He was the man who first hypothesized, based on telescopic evidence of the Doppler Effect on visible light from distant stars, that the universe was expanding, and that by running the clock backwards, you could see the entire universe would have occupied a very, very tiny point long ago. He called this the Theory of the Primeval Atom. Today we call it the Big Bang theory. The term "Big Bang" was first applied to Lemaître's theory by his critics as a derisive joke, and unfortunately it stuck.
Hilariously enough, "Big Bang" cosmology was actually rejected by most physicists at the time because it smacked of creationism--the majority of astrophysicists and astronomers were adherents of the Steady State theory, in which the universe is effectively eternal, has always existed, will always exist, and has always been much the same as we see it now.
Lemaître was an old-school Catholic priest. A man of God. So yeah, I'd say he very much believed in God and Jesus Christ.
