Science and religion
I don't think open-minded scientists necessarily rail against the possibility of religious and supernatural explanations. They are just astonished that those who support those explanations accept them uncritically with so little evidence, and further expect others to accept them uncritically as well.
As an atheist (I refuse the term "agnostic", it seems cowardly, somehow) I do not completely deny the possibility of the existence of a deity, I just recognize that I can't see any evidence for it, and I cannot
blindly accept anyone else's evidence just on the strength of their word.
Maybe there is a God, but as far as I can tell, no one knows anything at all about him.
