Are you small A or big A?

Quote:It does so matter. Part of being a scientist means ascribing to the scientific method. A scientist does not believe claims without the corresponding evidence to support them. He does not take things "on faith". Making an exception for God is the same as making an exception for zeus.

Not to mention the matter of bias. A scientist working in abiogenesis, for example, would be suspect to a conflict of interest if he believes an intervening god is responsible for the origin of life.

I'm curious, how many credits of math and science have you taken? How many research projects have you worken on?

I've never had the religiousness of my professors affect the quality of my learning, or the religious beliefs of my teammembers affect the quality of our research.
