Extrapolating, ALL scientists over the age of 40 (lets say 45 to be safe) should self identify as atheists if this statement were to be accurate. Do you HONESTLY believe that EVERY scientist over the age of 45 does this? Because, if even one says they are Jewish (or Muslim, Catholic, etc.), then the statement is false.
Well no...
Again, show me the evidence. And they have to be legit scientists, not like Dr. Oz is a doctor. You can't prove that with appropriate time, that statement is true. Don't turn it around / try to point out where there is falsities in this quip, show me.
As I said, some take more time to be convinced, but those are (again) not representative of the scientists more representative to what it means to be one - accepting of new knowledge and adapting. The other's aren't really applying the scientific method / thinking.
