Nobel prize winners can be wrong - such as Jim Watson. Pity really.
They can even be wrong about the thing they got their Nobel Prize about - Jacob and Monod got a nobel for their operon hypothesis that I always struggled with
and after another struggle thirty years later Wiki commented - we dont think it is that important now
so I gave up
Einstein told that Belgian priest he was wrong - 'you av boodifoll ideas but your physics is offool'
so the Belgian priest re wrote it and .... was right first time round. oops!

"Disease striking at random is, I believe, a symptom of our fallen world.Nothing, as yet, has ever had me doubting God."
But I thought your god (as there's gazillions of gods I absolutely refuse to use a capital G) was benevolent, omni-present and omni-everything else, so why are babies dying of cancer and babies dying of starvation in Africa? Is it because babies don't believe in your god?
Or is it simply the case when a modicum of common sense is applied that there's no such thing as god?
I genuinely think (and I'm not trying to be provocative here) that people who believe in something where there's not a single shred of proof - literally, there's nothing, nada, nought - have a mental illness.
If I swore blind in the existence of leprachauns, and there's an equal amount of proof in their existence as there is in god, I'd be carted-off to the funny farm.
I don't get it.
