"It appears that consciousness is a very rare & precious thing & we should take whatever steps we can to preserve the light of consciousness. Only now, after 4.5 billion years has that window been open. That’s a long time to wait and it might not stay open for long.” -

This is something an atheist or agnostic would say. All of this alarmist talk doesn't change the fact that humans are meant to traverse the vastness of space though.🤔

Also, there are religious scientists, engineers, doctors, analysts, etc. To stay that most STEM careerists are atheist/agnostic or are expected to be such is simply a myth. Most of the people that I know working in these fields are devout coreligionists, excelling at work.🤔

How far back atheist and agnostic scientist started to contribute to science? Most likely about 100 to 150 years ago?
Science prior to that was the contribution of religious scientists.
Science and religion aren’t mutually exclusive like it is led to believe.

Duly noted, and I advise you to read about the Islamic golden era and the scientist that contributed a wealth of knowledge spanning across major scientific fields.
Again science and religion are not mutually exclusive…Tweet stays.
Why I particularly said read Galileo's biography is for you to exactly understand that exclusivity. GALILEO' time, he said, earth went around the sun, church denied it then and tortured him. Jesuit scientists knew this, but were not ready to go against the church mandate. 1/

You can’t apply Christianity and brush over other religions, that said, Christianity still exists to today and it’s conceivable to find Christian scientists that contributed heavily in the development of humanity ie; post the dark ages.

Galileo, didn't give up. Though heavily tortured, struck to his astronomical findings. But church scientific community knew the truth too, but due to dogma, didnt come clean. Coppernicus came & buried them all, free thinkers produce the greatest stuff not religions.
