JOHN GRENHAM,
Madam, - Does Dr William Reville really think that the reason only 7 per cent of top scientists believe in God is "cultural pressure"? (Science Today, November 7th.) Let me offer another, in the words of Prof Frederick Crews:
"Why, we must wonder, would the shaper of the universe have frittered away 13 billion years, turning out quadrillions of useless stars, before getting around to the one thing he really cared about, seeing to it that a miniscule minority of earthling vertebrates are washed clean of sin and guaranteed an eternal place in his company?" - Yours, etc.,
JOHN GRENHAM, Windele Road, Dublin 9.
