I disagree though, and I think the anti-religion crowd can be just as dull as the fundamentalists.
There is no where in any religious text that tells anyone to fly into a building.

And science has only actually sent a few people to the moon
Fucking HUNDREDS of people have flown into buildings. And if that pilot hadn't managed to land his plane in the Hudson, science (or a failure thereof) would have flown a few more people into building than it has to the moon.

Sheesh well if I have to explain everything...
OK here we go. Boeing and The Post Office - 2 totally different companies operating in totally different areas.
Both have came in for varying degrees of criticism over their lifetimes. However, what Boeing does is hugely more complicated than what The Post Office does.
Basically, what I'm saying is that The Post Office do a relatively simple job badly, so I wouldn't trust them to do anything complicated.

Not at all recently
but I'm generally fond of "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt"
And, as a personal mantra, "a true scientist cannot conceal what he discovers out of fear for what mankind will do with it" - Oppenhiemer's quote after he perfected the first atomic bomb.

he most definitely wasn't a commie
The US witch-hunted him for daring to suggest that blowing the fuck out of a few hundred thousand people wasn't really morally right. He lost everything, all his degrees, all his esteem, because the McCarthy era US was a pile of absolute cunts.
Mind, he did say "I have become as death, shatterer of worlds" after they dropped the first one, so he might be a bit of a megalomaniac. And also someone who doesn't read quotes properly.

His wife was a self-professed Marxist
and his security clearance was revoked in '45 after it became apparent that he'd lied about his meetings with fellow communists during his Los Alamos phase.
He was a preening peacock and drama-queen.

He was one of the greatest physicists to walk the earth
that earns him the right to be a drama-queen.
And those "meetings" were supposedly the odd social event, although since neither of us were there, I don't think either of us can be sure.
Incidentally, he couldn't have had his security clearance revoked. He never had security clearance at Los Alamos.

But, but
he was the one who persuaded the US goverernment to BUY Los Alamos because it was near his New Mexico bolt-hole. He was head of weapons development there - of course he had security clearance. Still, meh. I've just got a chip because Enrico Fermi should really be the household name that Oppenheimer became.
