Why Do Most Scientists Reject The Idea of a Supreme Intelligence
Much of the hostility of science toward God is a reaction against religious
dogmatism and outright persecution of rational thinkers in centuries past, such
as Galileo and Giordano Bruno.
But there is also a sense in science that understanding of the ways the world
and the Universe work has been one of steady progress, systematically replacing
mythology with genuine knowledge. It becomes tempting to extrapolate these
successes to an ultimate understanding of everything using the tools and methods
of science. Next time you read a science-oriented book for the general public,
note how frequently ?triumph? or ?triumphantly? is used to describe a discovery.
There is a degree of arrogance and hubris at work: we, the sophisticated
scientists, are smarter than the less educated masses who cannot appreciate the
complexity of science and have no need for the superstitions of the hoi polloi.
Indeed, a mind set can arise in which it becomes virtually impossible to
conceive of any reality other than the reductionist, materialist perspective.
The community one is immersed in does determine and reinforce a consensus view,
and that is true of the scientific community. One can easily find the view
expressed that since science has found no evidence of God, there cannot be a
God. This overlooks the fact that science has neither the tools nor even the
concepts to actually search for evidence of a supreme intelligence. If you loose
your keys in the dark, but look for them under the lamppost because that?s where
the light is, you won?t find any evidence of your keys.
