I've heard a lot of Christians say that they don't believe in the Flood and many other stories in the Bible. I ask, if you don't believe many of the Bible's stories and teachings, where do you draw the line? Isn't it just you following whatever you like in the Bible and ignoring things you don't agree with, de facto creating your own religious worldview that was not presented to you by your religion in the first place? Also, from statistics I've seen, 95% of physicists are atheist, the highest concentration of atheists for any occupation. |
So your of the opinion that if you read a history book that says "Christopher Columbus couldn't get people to fund his voyage because people thought he was going to fall off the earth."
You also aren't going to believe World War 2 happened.
I'd like to see that stat sourced.
Can't find the article, all I can find is random articles about atheist physisists converting to religions and various physists who don't believe in any religous dogma, but also believe their is a "purpose" behind the universe.
Like Roger Penrose. Who is an "atheist", but believes the above and believes not all things can be converted into matter... with consiousness somehow existing in a different "dimension". Which isn't really atheism so much as it is a non belief in the "advertised" gods.
Really when i've seen the stats, the largest concentration of atheists were Evolutionary Biologists, and it wasn't near 95%. (around 80% i believe) Though evolutionary biology does make the most sense to have the most amount of atheists, since evolutionary biolgy basically rejects true consiousness and free will. (Yet, i think most of them believe in free will. Though that's largely a definition of how you define free will. "Sure you have the choice to say no, but you never would!")
