Mikey also labels anyone who believes in God as a kook. . .well, that broad 
brush apints some of his heros or at least thsoe who laid the foundation of
science and physics as kooks:

Quote from Einstein:

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science," wrote Einstein, "becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble. In this way the pursuit of science leads to a religious feeling of a special sort, which is indeed quite different from the religiosity of someone more naive."
 
quote from Sir Issac Newton:

"I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by men who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.Atheism is.senseless."

so the entire realm of science has been fostered on us poor people by "kooks".
