You missed the essence of my point imho. But we are all entitled to our own opinion. I never even used the word gods btw.

My point was religion, spirituality, philosophy and esoteric thought has led to some scientific advancement and important scientific thought. I never said all or most or anything like that either. You could run a google search and find Cambridge or Ivy League academics saying similar things.
