That Scientific American issue on science and religion sounds like good
reading.  I should get it.  In any event, keeping in mind the finding that 40%
of scientists believe in God, Is there an implication or concern in Sagan's
writings, or the writings of some other prominent scientist, that those who
attend church or hold spiritual beliefs (e.g., belief in God) might not produce
good science?
