  • The more you learn, the greater you are aware of how much is uncertain.

    Yes, but similarly, the god of the gaps is pretty hard to ignore.

    There will be questions we never will have the answer to, and if you’re actually serious about the scientific method as a philosophy, you aren’t uncomfortable with “we don’t know”.

    To me, a mysterious universe is more wondrous than “god did it” and yes, I do very much question religious scientists, despite many great scientists being religious.

    If you’re willing to just believe things “just because” then how can I trust you’ll actually apply the scientific method (also a philosophy) reliably?

    I can happily coexist and work with mildly religious scientists/engineers, but I would straight up refuse to work with a creationist or someone born again. Religion is anti-scientific.

    Religion vs science is not a false dichotomy, despite it being possible to be religious and a scientist at the same time.
