Here’s a small piece of corroborating evidence while I try and remember:
‘Men became scientific because they expected Law in Nature, and they expected Law in Nature because they believed in a Legislator. In most modern scientists this belief has died: it will be interesting to see how long their confidence in uniformity survives it. Two significant developments have already appeared—the hypothesis of a lawless sub-nature, and the surrender of the claim that science is true. We may be living nearer than we suppose to the end of the Scientific Age.’
-Lewis, C.S., Miracles: a preliminary study, Collins, London, p. 110, 1947.
Because, as I said, it’s been done, mined out before open atheism was even a thing.
It’s possible I was generalizing from having people claim to deduce more, um, recent theories. You’re right, it doesn’t stand or fall on that basis.
Damn you, source amnesia! shakes fist
