Science and Religion

A popular question in the science and religion field is, "Can a person be both a scientist and a person of religious faith?" Recent statistic show that 60% of scientists are non-theists, which at first seems like a small percent. But something interesting happens once you look at the more established scientists of the National Academy of Science. The more accomplished scientist you are, the less theistic you tend to be.

On the latest show at the Freedom From Religion Foundation's Radio show, Nobel Laureate Paul D. Boyer talks about these statistics and how he came to become an agnostic and then an atheist. The show also talks about Intelligent Design and the Creationists that try to combine science and religion.

How do you live a moral life as an atheist? Mr. Boyer, like me, believes that morals really have nothing to do with God or religion.
