I have a suggestion, it would be for the scientific community to strongly suggest that its most prominent members (Shermer and Dawkins, Stenger, Dennett, countless others) get OUT of the atheist promotion business! Do you have a better idea than that one?
Shermer is not a scientist, let alone a prominent one. He's noted as a skeptical activist, not a scientist.
Daniel Dennett is not a scientist, he's a philosopher.
I've never even heard of Stenger, so he may be a scientist, but he's not a
prominent anything, not even a prominent atheist.
Dawkins is, I think, a fairly prominent scientist, he has made a genuine contribution to science. But he's not "most prominent" in science, he's most prominent for his campaign for atheism.
These are not "the most prominent members" of "the scientific community". They're some of the most prominent atheists that you've heard of. At least half of them are not scientists at all.
As for what "the scientific community" should "strongly suggest", well, fuck that backwards. Here is a fact. By a small but appreciable majority, most scientists are atheists. So if they were going to "strongly suggest" that anyone should shut their mouths, they'd start with ID-iots like Michael Behe and William Dembski, and then they'd move on to theist evolutionists like Ken Miller and Simon Conway Morris.
But they do not do so. The scientific community is happy to engage in debate. But you want them to
suppress the debate. Well, if they did,
which side of the debate would they suppress?
