Re: btw, here is a nobel prize winner that beleives
This is just one guy, but are we to really believe that Watson and Wilson have never known of scientists like this guy, who won a Nobel prize in physics but also is a preacher?
As an addendum to Percy's reply:
Townes isn't a preacher. Just thought that was worth noting.

Re: btw, here is a nobel prize winner that beleives
Missed that.
I believe the term you're looking for is "inserted that."
I don't think there was any dishonesty involved; you probably read it and came away with the genuine impression that he is a preacher. But there's absolutely nothing in the text to suggest that he is one. It was your invention.
Perhaps the next time someone suggests that you're projecting ideas onto something that aren't there, you might remember this?
