Science and Religion Need to Take Each Other Seriously

[Cary]

24. No.

In my very first post I asked you "Why, exactly, do scientists need to take religionists seriously?" That's a direct quote.

I went on to give a reason why I thought religion had absolutely nothing to offer to science. In fact religion has played a detrimental role.

As far as I can tell your article still only claims that science somehow needs religion because there are a lot of religionists. The example I gave you was Einstein and he was hardly alone in the denial of quantum physics. In fact other than Einstein all of the great physicists were washed up in terms of new discoveries by the time they reached 23 years of age. Things like religion stultified their minds and only a fresh mind that didn't "know" any better was flexible enough.

I don't know why scientists need to take religionists seriously. So far neither you nor the author of your article offer me what I would consider to be a good answer.
