A is for Atheism

Why Are More Scientists Atheist?

    According to a document found on the God and Science website took a look at the percentage of professors in multiple studies. They found that the percent of those in the hard sciences and soft sciences scored nearly the same. They also asked about family status and it was found that those studied were more likely to cohabitate then the general population. The obvious conclusion, Scientist reject god because of a desire to be immoral. "It is likely that those who have rejected religious morality (i.e., those who were cohabiting) wanted to justify their behavior by saying that there was very little truth in any religion." This is what the study called Why are Most Scientist Atheists If There Is Evidence for Belief in God?

    The "Logic" issued forth here is astounding. First I would like to address the title, Why are Most Scientist Atheists If There Is Evidence for Belief in God? The answer to this simple question is even simpler, there isn't proof that there is a God. If there was proof this story would be much different. The next part of this twisted tale I would like to address is why don't those Atheists get married? If one doesn't believe in God than what is left of marriage other than a promise and a tax cut? Aka It is not immoral to stay unmarried. Shouldn't whether two people remain together be a matter of love? I would contend that it should. I think this article far missed the reason why many educated people don't believe in god. The subject is simple, the idea is not hard to grasp, unless you have no critical thinking skills.

    That is the common link behind all of these professors. All education demands critical thinking. That is what is missing from most of the population. I am not going to contend that no atheists has critical thinking skills or that all of the religious have the same problem. I will say though that I would bet those stupid people who fed McDonald's to their kids everyday and were surprised that their kids got fat, were not atheistic.

    I want to stress one more time that Christians are not necessarily bad thinkers, but I am saying that those who are well educated and well respected thinkers are far better than the average man. Before this groups goes off and starts making Atheists out to be immoral fornicators maybe they should do some practice in critical thinking.
