Maria Pena's thoughts on Scientists with Twitter Ego's

(excerpted)



Some scientists think they are promoting "critical-thinking" and, therefore, everything out of their belief system bubble is highly criticized by them in a very rude way. The people I've seen following this practice some are sort of famous and have their own TV show, which makes it (in my opinion) even worse.

Out of the blue, these so-called "critical thinkers" start criticizing, in a very rude manner, to other people that believe in anything they don't believe in like God, or start making fun of people who claim to have had a UFO sighting.

They are so sure that God does not exist ... wow! Hey, I am not a religious person and, personally, YES, I believe in the existence of God and creator. But here is the thing; if you claim that God does not exist, for me that sound like you have answers to all the mysteries in the world.

Ah, but what if their claim is not that God doesn't exist, but instead that God makes a mean raspberry tart?

I should probably go pour my coffee.

Interesting note: Hawking doesn't completely throw away the existence of a 'creator'. I don't believe Sagan did either. While I am less surprised to find something like that out about Sagan, I did a double take when Hawking mentioned it.

I was thinking along the same lines as Marla, the other night, every time I saw Shostak smirk and chortle.

PS I really liked your Esotericana article. It is very similar to my opinions on the uproar created when Stephen made his statement (which I believe was a general one and not actually suggesting that it would really happen *here*, only that it *could* happen somewhere).
