Baroness Greenfield criticises 'Taliban-like' Stephen Hawking - Telegraph
via telegraph.co.uk
As someone who must be intelligent to be a "distinguished neuroscientist", Lady Greenfield is making some very stupid remarks. The basis of the scientific method is questioning and refuting the null hypothesis. In her attack on Stephen Hawking's statement she is doing exactly the opposite of what she says should be done in science, “What we need to preserve in science is a curiosity and an open-mindedness rather than a complacency and a sort of arrogance where we attack people who come at the big truths and the big questions albeit using different strategies.” She's the one who is apparently closed to the possibility of the non-existence of God.
