Re: Science and Religon
[ QUOTE ]
They can just treat the conflicting stories as parable (many religous non-scientists do this anyway). Its just the literal chaps...

Although it's true that religion is lower among scientists, the term is spread too thin. A scientist in a narrow applied field, say his role is finding/testing new plastics, is not in the same role as a scientist looking at situations that have broader implications. Theoretical scientists would be much less likely to be able to balance a religious belief into their worldview than a more mundane applied science ( for example, those that resemble engineering).
Iow, inductive scientists should be less attracted to religion than deductive scientists.
