I have vague memories of seeing a survey that reported exactly the opposite. Scientists reported significantly lower levels of belief in God than the general population and physicists reported significantly lower levels of belief in God than other scientists. The figure of about 20% is floating around there in my pseudo-memory.Most physicists, for example, believe in God — tim wood

Yesterday I was having an argument with a classmate regarding the importance of Kant today. He argued that Kant was no longer relevant - most of his metaphysics has been displaced by science and his theory of morality is not in line with what morality means any more. I utterly disagreed with what he said, and decided to collect my thoughts into an article. I'd love to hear if anyone else thinks Kant is obsolete, and if so why?
