Talk:Theory of relativity (view source)
Revision as of 18:51, November 28, 2009
, 18:51, November 28, 2009→Request for References: Spend some time in a physics department, as I have, and you won't doubt that believe in relativity and reading/discussing the Bible are inversely correlated.

Andy, you've said several times that learning relativity causes people to stop reading the bible, and that specialists in relativity are more liberal than physics professors (who are more liberal than college professors overall). Do you have any sources for these claims? In my experience, people in physics are as conservative as other fields of science, and more so than biologists. Thanks in advance for the sources. --[[User:WLink|WLink]] 13:22, 28 November 2009 (EST)

:You can see plenty of evidence on the talk pages here. In addition, I've seen at least one survey indicating that the level of atheism is higher among physicists than, say, mathematics, despite the close connection between the fields. There are also prominent, widely promoted physicists who describe themselves as atheists, such as Richard Feynman and Steven Weinberg, more so than in mathematics or other analogous fields.
