re "Doesn't accepting that kinda ruin the whole basis of their life's work?" Not for Newton, Pascal, Maxwell, Planck, Heisenberg, John Lucas, John Eccles, or John Stewart Bell -- all religious. There is also a group who aren't religious but see reason to believe in a universal consciousness, e.g. Bohm, Schroedinger, and Penrose. Biologists seem to be more prone to deny the supernatural, presumably due to the culture wars surrounding the teaching of evolution.
