Well, scientists are "current theologians". But as such they are
less modern than the greeks. In particular, they hide the

Because they've found that it is better to start from observation
and to make progress where it can be tested rather than assuming
some overarching metaphysics and then fighting wars over who's
metaphysics is right.
If only they did that. Well, the real scientists do such a thing, and
that is why my work did not make any problem for scientists, only
philosophers, except the vindictive atheists, who, at least in
Brussels and Paris, just ridiculed themselves, as it was clear they
were the "religious dogmatic" person.
But some scientists also repeat, without knowing, the critics done by
such pseudo-religious person. Perhaps they just want to defend the
actual curriculum, with a neat separation between soft and hard
science. I don't know, because they never accept to meet, or to come
to a conference and make a critics in public. They don't because they
are not even aware of what I wrote at all.
Science is agnostic on both primary matter and most (non fairy tale)
notion of "God". Scientists who pretend the contrary are pseudo-
religious believer in 2/3 or 3/3 of Aristotle theology, and they are
just shocked with the idea that primary matter might be the next
phlogiston. Actually such scientists seem to be not aware of the
difference between primary matter and matter, and they have never read
any theologians, so ...
