I have posted on this subject a few times before and this will be my last post on the unfortunate situation.
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.

Religious Scientists: An Oxymoron?
Yes, yes, and yes: many scientists have God-beliefs. If you argue that this is evidence for a God, you are committing the logical fallacy of Argumentum ad populum (Argument from numbers), which is based on claiming a truth or affirming something is good because the majority thinks so (Wikipedia).
An Oxymoron is a figure of speech that juxtaposes concepts with opposing meanings within a word or phrase that creates an ostensible self-contradiction (Wikipedia). I hold that a religious scientist is inconsistent with his/her/they thinking, as is reflected in my image below. Thus, I hold that the two words together are an oxymoron. If you disagree, as most religious scientists would, let's just agree to disagree.
