Wow, I thought this kind of thing was done away with years ago

Yes. It's coming back. I think you had the same reaction back then as well. :)

First, most scientists are not the faithful. It's the laymen in our would who place their faith in things beyond their understanding, whether that be God, or the unknowns of science.

Engineering, science, mathematics... Together they've concocted the most devious and efficient ways of decimating vast populations. Also, they've done vast good. Mostly humans are great at applying knowledge without the application of wisdom. But, I'm not one of those people who believes Teller and Oppenheimer were evil geniuses. They solved a problem with horrific consequences. If not them, then some one else would have done it, and maybe it would have been Honolulu or London that would have been devastated.
