why that almost all scientist, don't believe in God? and why almost all scientist, believe that they are God?

Answer 1

The reality is that most PEOPLE of average or better intelligence (let alone scientists!) seriously question the existence of god, but understand that it is easier just to go along with this popular myth. If god did in fact create everything, he did kind of a crappy job (what's an appendix for? why did he make malaria? why do babies get cancer? why do priests molest children? why did so many Jews perish in WWII? Was Hitler more powerful than god?), so that's why people don't believe. Even if there is a god, clearly he is neither omnipotent nor truly benevolent. Do you have a family member with cancer? Do they deserve it?

Answer 2

I think Einstein called himself a "deeply religious unbeliever" if I remember correctly. And I think what he meant was this: the world has an astounding structure and pattern to it. There are physical 'laws' by which the universe operates. Scientific study has discovered deep connections between things that people in the past would never have dreamed of. I think scientists all have a sort of "faith" that there is a foundation behind everything that we can strive to uncover and make sense of. I think this is what Einstein was referring to -- a deep belief that there indeed is a way to make sense of everything there is.

But I don't think there is a being of any sort at this foundation that I imagine. Certainly not something that we could communicate with or a 'god' that could at any moment change the rules of the Universe on a whim and make the day last an hour longer or something. That just seems incompatible with the way the world seems to operate. I think the world is basically on its own, without purpose. And that doesn't bother me at all. I am enjoying the ride immensely!

Answer 3

I think Scientists do believe in God--the more they learn about the complexity of the universe (or the human body), the more obvious it is that life did not occur randomly and must have been created by something higher than ourselves.

There is a difference in believing that you are God and being confident. I think most scientists are only very confident. True scientists know they are not God by virtue of the research they do.

Answer 4

It's not true that "most" or "almost all" scientists don't believe in God -- but I agree with you that a good number of people working in various scientific fields do not identify with organized religion. Basically, "knowledge" as gleaned from religion is the believing of things via abstractions, whereas scientific knowledge is gathered from the belief of probabilities as produced via using our five senses in the scientific method. Science is generally skeptical of belief, and is instead concerned with playing the percentages; so it's not necessarily that scientists disbelieve in God, but rather is that they do not put faith into what they deem to be improbable and into what does not make scientific sense (i.e., capable of being studied via the scientific method). For one who is deeply religious, there's just no way to explain this other than to say that science and religion perceive there to be different ways of understanding "T"ruth -- many scientists cannot understand how fervent religious advocates can believe in what seems to make no logical sense, while many who are religiously devout cannot understand scientists' need to focus on sensory data for their sense of faith.

But don't say that it's because scientists think that they are God -- saying it this way just sounds like you are repeating some cliched TV dialogue.

Answer 5

That's a stereotype--that scientists do/don't believe in God. I guess a few people who claim to be scientists are faithless have gotten publicity, so we believe this about scientists. Some of the greatest scientific minds have been very 'religious' --Ie Albert Einstein.

" I maintain that the cosmic religious feeling is the strongest and noblest motive for scientific research."

-- Albert Einstein

Answer 6

A. Rational thought. Science rejects explanations that fail to account for observations. Thus, most scientists do not invoke god to explain anything.

B. Your second question stipulates an absurdity - that scientists believe that they are God. Perhaps you mean to say that many scientists possess inflated egos. Well, some do - some seem to base their entire sense of self-worth on their rigorous application of the scientific method. Human nature. But I have yet to meet one who considers him/herself 'God'.

C. Last thought. Pay some attention to grammar. It really doesn't require that much effort.

Answer 7

Scientists are aware of the fat that existence or non existence of god or gods cannot be proved by any scientific laws.
They rely on reasoning and belief of god is beyond reasoning; they are bothering anything beyond reasoning.
They don't want to mingle them in arguing about that.
The second part of question is baseless. Since scientist help human life which is attributed to the qualities of god
people think that they are god and not vice versa.

Answer 8

I have a doctor who is also a Scientist and he is a true believer in God.

Answer 9

I am a scientist - a professional research chemist. My graduate degree is in organic chemistry. I am also a devout Roman Catholic who goes to Church every sunday. I work in a building with 200 other chemists, biologists, and physicists. Nearly all of them also attend some sort of church every sunday. No scientist of my acquaintance thinks that he or she is a god. Where did you get all of these silly ideas?

Fundamentally, scientists are just people who are curious about how the world works. Most of us research how we can use that knowledge to make life better for people and for other species on this planet. The study of science does not lead to a lack of faith in God. In fact, my studies of science and my daily work in science has led me to a greater respect for God. He made a fascinatingly complex world for us to live in, and I love learning about how it works.

Answer 10

because evolution makes a hell of a lot of sense and they understand it. But many scientist do believe in God.
