Hmm, I'd really like to know exactly who these atheists supposedly were. And what percentage of the atheist scientists they were. But I'm not going to buy the book in the slim hope that he will actually name these atheists. I tend to doubt most atheist scientist didn't accept the big bank because it was too close to genesis. However, in any case, it doesn't matter. That is one of the absolute strengths of science over religion. Scientific method explicitly takes human biases into account. Publishing, peer review, reproducability - all foundations of science. There are a lot of examples of the majority of scientists rejecting an idea. For example, the washing of the hands by doctors. Everyone rejected this, but in good time, it was accepted by all. On the other hand, we have religion. It brooks no argument. There is no disagreeing or finding a different way to truth. People may do it, but the religion sure doesn't allow it, mostly.

One was provided in the quote you're responding to: Fred Hoyle. Looking at the relevant Wikipedia articles, Hermann Bondi is likely another. I wouldn't be surprised if a similar motive isn't also behind a lot of multiverse theories, many of which are basically steady-state theories with any observable phenomenon pushed out of view.

  Two people is not impressive, if there are 500,000 scientists who are atheists. Not impressive at all. My two sisters is blond and like eating sushi, therefore all blond women like to eat sushi. Where is the statistically significance in the study, and were are the data?
