But in the larger sense, the religious cannot claim to be true scientists. As long as belief can trump scientific findings, religion and science can never be compatible.
this is based on his own unproven belief that science can disprove religion, don't you think? otherwise there is no reason for such a claim, as belief will never have the option to "trump scientific findings".
a religious scientist who comes across the situation where their religion is somehow disproven has three options:
1. cease to be religious and continue being a scientist
2. cease to be a scientist and continue with that religion
3. continue to be a scientist and find a religion which has no proof against it.
and there will always be a religion with no proof against it as long as there is Christianity
