(15,229 posts)You don't have to be Einstein to realise that atheists have an a priori horror of the notion that anything in this universe or elsewhere could not be understood by reasoning. Never mind that paradoxes such as space-time and wave-particle duality are proliferating t an increasing rate, and can only be accepted 'as is', and used by physicists as staging-posts, springboards to further discoveries by the same use of reason that discovered them to be counter-rational.
Here is a bizarre admission of the abysmal lack of integrity of intellectual materialist 'scientists', by Richard Lewontin :

Of course, atheist prefer to talk in terms of counter-intuitiveness, which is insane, and reduces the speaker to an imbecile. Do you need your intuition to tell you that, on the basis of the superficial, worldly analytical intelligence, something being simultaneously a wave and a particle makes no sense (is counter-rational) ? Just like their a priori repudiation of the Big Bang, the 'fine-tuning of the universe, etc, etc.
Here is another quote from Robert Jastrow :
"There is a strange ring of feeling and emotion in these reactions [of scientists to evidence that the universe had a sudden beginning]. They come from the heart whereas you would expect the judgments to come from the brain. Why? I think part of the answer is that scientists cannot bear the thought of a natural phenomenon which cannot be explained, even with unlimited time and money. There is a kind of religion in science; it is the religion of a person who believes there is order and harmony in the Universe. Every event can be explained in a rational way as the product of some previous event; every effect must have its cause, there is no First Cause.
This religious faith of the scientist is violated by the discovery that the world had a beginning under conditions in which the known laws of physics are not valid, and as a product of forces or circumstances we cannot discover. When that happens, the scientist has lost control. If he really examined the implications, he would be traumatized."
Quantum mechanics, upon which 70 % of modern industry is said to depend, would not even have been discovered, nor ever would be. That is why they are hypocrites and parasites. They are forced to accept the mysterious antithesis of the classical, mechanistic physics of yore, to earn their daily bread.
