This says a couple of things to me...
If the Quran contained genuine scientific 'miracles' then scientists all over the world would invariably be muslims and not overwhelmingly atheist/agnostic as they are.
If the testimony of scientists on religious matters is valid then you've just shot yourself in the foot because most of them disagree with you. |
Nope, people are people. They can ignore stuff if they want to. You make out scientists to be somehow above normal people in your post. Scientists are just regular people, they can be ignorant too.
So what does your article tell me? That you havent looked into it much at all.
ZOMG 92% Atheist OMG OMG SCIENCE RULES OUT RELIGION
Foolish if you ask me, here take a look a this.

This tells me a bunch of interesting thing, such as:
Ecklund says, "It appears that those from non-religious backgrounds disproportionately self-select into scientific professions. This may reflect the fact that there is tension between the religious tenets of some groups and the theories and methods of particular sciences and it contributes to the large number of non-religious scientists."
Let me get this straight, according to your logic, we could say this:
African-Americans comprise approximately 79% of NBA rosters, 65% of NFL line ups, and 18% of MLB teams
