:Spend some time in a physics department, as I have, and you won't doubt that belief in relativity and reading/discussing the Bible are inversely correlated.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 13:51, 28 November 2009 (EST)

:: Could you link to the study you have referenced above, or give some information on it? Also, as you've pointed out, knowing one person who smoked into their seventies and didn't get cancer does not prove anything. Similarly, the anecdotal evidence on this talk page doesn't verify your claim. The evidence from the talk page seems to lean the other way- most of the editors seem to think that plenty of physicists who believe in relativity also read the Bible, but it is all anecdotal. --[[User:WLink|WLink]] 08:12, 29 November 2009 (EST)
:: Yes, there are some physicists who are atheists, but what is the relation to relativity? Can you even show me one person who understands relativity and does not believe it? There are people who think that relativity might have to be modified to explain some anomaly, or people who propose such hypotheses such as this [http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=splitting-time-from-space]. But who denies the basics of relativity? I'll count people inside or outside physics departments, but not articles like this CP page that are filled with inaccuracies about what relativity is.
