words

Scientist have to stop using the word God and to claim they are believers. They are creating confusion. Dawkin is right when he says people claim they believe without really believing. We need a whole new vocabulary for the wonders and awe with which we experience science. How many time do I have to hear about Einstein as a believer when he was not really, not in the biblical sense? Some people even revive their faith when they hear such claims. Let be straight about what we believe as scientist and make it clear to people in general. We must stop this confusion of the words. There is a time for poetry and metaphor and there is a time for clarity.
