Now of course she has unnamed sources. She later goes on to say that she tells members of congress who tell her they don’t believe in Science because of their faith, why can’t they do both. As far as I’m concerned someone as evil as her should never lecture anyone about faith or science. She places her faith in ice cream, $20,000 refrigerators, blow dryers, and dentures. God is merciful, but you must accept His grace. Just like with Science, we must do our part. I’m going to go out on a limb and say she’s never looked at her soul because she sold it a long time ago.
Am I surprised? Nope. Am I sick of being called stupid for my faith? Yup. Because of my faith I know what’s in store for me, but man is it frustrating to read this crap time, and time, and time again. Ok, rant done for the day.
Point remains.
It's not the best point, as very few people had the free time to devote to study like folks attached to the church. Also, very few people got a good education outside of the church at the time.
Historically, most scientists in the West were Christian, but that was more a matter of where they were brought up as opposed to the religion they held.
All that said, you can still be a Christian and a scientist. Many people have and still are.
