Mikey also labels anyone who believes in God as a kook. . .

So I guess you can produce some posts from me to that effect from Google, right liar?

Actually I claim that people afflicted with religiosity are immature, credulous, naive and in denial about the reality of their own mortality, but not necessarily kooks. However, people who use their baseless religious beliefs as justification for all sorts kooky claims or actions certainly are kooks

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."

Yawn. Nobody who has actually studied Einstein claims he was overly religious. A few quotes taken out of context and offered up by shit-stupid kooks like you who are incapable of comprehending anything else Einstein ever wrote don't prove anything.

 
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."

Newton lived in a theocracy where you couldn't move in the sort of circles necessary to make a difference in society unless you were a practicing member of the Anglican Church at least affected a a devout belief in the Christian God. Study the man though, and you will find that he was no religious fanatic.


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

No, kooks like you have held back science by clinging to your silly superstitions. HTH.
