Kudos to the people in this thread who didn't feel the need to go and be dicks in the scripture thread...
G.K. Chesterton hardly qualifies as a scientist. Is Denny, once again dragging in irrelevance, trying to show scientists are imperfect human beings like everyone else? products of their times with prejudice like everyone else? No scientist ever denied it. Fake argument, again. Not quite a science quote but a quote from a scientist, Dawkins famous comment on the god of the bible:
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Bertrand Russell, Thomas Szasz, and likely a few others quotes here aren't or weren't scientists. I made no judgment about Darwin and his beliefs. YOU did.
