The great thing about science is that it doesn't matter what a scientist believes or who you trust: you can always test it and see whether the things he says check out.

We can trust a scientist who believes in God if the science is sound and not just "God did it".

Plenty of proper scientists also believe in God, Vishnu, Siva, Allah, Yahweh and various other deities.
Whether their science makes it or not depends on whether it fits with scientific principles such as the testing of evidence, not the personal beliefs of the worker.
Creationism is rejected because it is not scientific, not because of the religious beliefs of its proponents.

God is a scientist who will teach His scientific knowledge that is written in scientific text but misinterpreted into religious text in the Bible to the next prophet that will emerge from His people.This prophet will force mankind to re-translate scripture back into scientific text God originally wrote it in. This will lead to proving that a non-human scientific mind wrote this scripture 3500 years before any human could possibly have wrote it. This new knowledge about God will force all of mankind's including atheist's scientific knowledge to be thrown out and God's scientific knowledge to be followed by faith by mankind in order for mankind to continue to survive on Earth in the near future. I believe God has chosen me to be that next prophet.

It is not about the scientist. It is about the science. We should look askance at science not accepted by the scientific community as a whole.

No, definately not. A scientist is supposed to be objective and any finding can be tested and be subject to scrutinisation to test its viability.
The religion or lack thereof of a scientist should not be a consideration.

All so-called science based on anything but science should be thrown out.

Are you kidding me? Most sciences that we have are from the research done by the religious. This is not to mention the various forms of Mathematics we have acquired from the religous

There are many prevalent Jewish scientists who are among the highest achievers in their respective fields. As we qualify as non-Atheists,please don't let xtians confuse us with them in your mind. We're not the crazy ones. We LIKE gravity.

Science is Science no matter who did the research.
