Yep, that vaunted Christian intellectual superiority

A letter the physicist wrote in 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind,
in which he described the Bible as "pretty childish" and scoffed at
the notion that the Jews could be a "chosen people," sold for $404,000
at an auction in London. That was 25 times the presale estimate.

Max Planck (1858-1947) won the 1918 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his work
on the establishment and development of the theory of elementary
quanta." Max Planck is universally recognized as the father of modern
physics.
----Both religion and science need for their activities the belief in
God, and moreover God stands for the former in the beginning, and for
the latter at the end of the whole thinking. For the former, God
represents the basis, for the latter - the crown of any reasoning
concerning the world-view. Man needs science as a tool of perception; he
needs religion as a guide to action..

But then, he knew nothing about neuroscience, neurophilosophy, or
neurotheology. Even intelligent people based in folk lore theories can say
questionable things.

Actually, most physicists will disagree with you about this.
