(i would adjust the last sentence) -.. “Like any other group of professionals, scientists don't always get this right.
But it's my understanding that most scientists think a lot about ethics.
Do religious people perceive that most scientists are not particularly ethical?” ..
“We don't really have a lot of evidence that there's a widespread lack of ethics amongst scientists.
But it's the perception, and these perceptions can be very important in how communities view each other.
Because new atheist writers, some of whom are scientists, have been so active, there is this perception amongst religious groups that scientists are all atheists, and not just atheists but anti-religious people.
And that's not really accurate either.
So we need to be careful when we let the loudest voices seem the most numerous.”

”Does believing in God make it harder to believe in science?”
https://www.dallasnews.com/opinion/comm ... ve-science
neither the loudest, nor the most numerous voices, determine either scientific fact OR God’s Truth.
this is an interesting piece on questions frequented on MN.
imho, the closing sentence is weak. (writer tired, or ran out of time?!)
i found it on the Catholic Engineers FB page, which i also find interesting. YMMV

in my life, i admit, some of the most fascinating people i know of are those with both higher (technical/scientific) education, and, authentic obedient faith.
“the more i know, the more i realize i don’t know,” touches and humbles the heart.
these are not the noisiest among us. but, they are strong, and effective.
i praise God for them.
