The Tao of the Atheist astronomer.
The atheist astronomer is one who proceeds to interpret everything within the parameters of atheism. To such a person, the universe cannot exhibit any evidence of intelligent design. So everything that indicates planning and forethought is dismissed as the result of mindless forces. In short, an atheist astronomer makes irrationality a modus operandi to avoid the conclusion of intelligent design at all costs. Unfortunately, the cost for their unprofessional antics is looking unscientific and foolish.
The atheist astronomers also has the penchant for tagging uninhabitable planets as Earthlike. The reason for this is simple: the need to prove that Earth is not special at all, but is simply a very common occurrence in the universe. Many who hear the term Earthlike expect the planet to resemble the Earth. Yet what we are presented with is merely another example of a world where human life would be impossible or very difficult to sustain.
Another effort of atheist Astronomers is in reference to abiogenesis, or life spontaneously arising from non life. Ever notice the certainty with which they claim that abiogenesis must be happening somewhere in the universe? Just a little water and the right conditions, and voila! Life! Yet there is absolutely not a single shred of evidence in nature, or derived from lab-experiments, which supports such a belief. Quite to the contrary, wherever we look, we always observe the same thing, life emerging from life, and furious efforts to force nature into abiogenesis demonstration have all failed.
The irony of this attitude, is that such individuals claim to be scientists who are professionally duty-bound to respect the scientific method in their search for truth. Yet, their biased modus operandi indicates a disdain for truth, a rejection of anything which might contradict their preconceived notions of how the universe and life appeared. In short, they are not representing science nor the scientific method, they are, merely representing their own personal opinions with a stubborn willingness to sacrifice truth in order to avoid a conclusion that they find totally unacceptable.
