Leading scientists still reject God

Article Abstract:

Religious belief amongst US scientists has long been the subject of discussion. A survey finds that disbelief is greater than ever amongst the top natural scientists. Research on the topic started with James H Leuba's landmark survey of 1914 which found that 58% of 1,000 US scientists expressed disbelief or doubt in the existence of God. Little has changed since then, following the survey, repeating Leuba's methods, based on the responses of 'greater' scientists and members of the National Academy of Science.

Scientists have a head start in IT

Article Abstract:

There is high demand for employees with information technology skills and scientists can benefit from this demand. Information technology skills are needed in a wide range of fields including finance and biotechnology. The finance industry pays the highest salaries to specialists who can develop customized modeling systems. Information is available on the internet on where demand for skills lies. Scientists can take courses in computing science, or they can join organizations which offer training.

Scientists are still keeping the faith

Article Abstract:

A modern survey designed to recreate research into US scientists' religious beliefs conducted in 1916 reveals that 40% of scientists still believe in God and an afterlife, showing no change since 1916 despite a predicted decline in faith. However, the types of scientists who believe have changes, with mathematicians the most likely to believe and physicists, not biologists, the least likely to believe.
