Thanks for the link to Meyers and Carroll's thoughts on the subject, I had not seen them. I've actually met Sean Carroll a couple times, and had dinner with him once... he was in the same fairly close-knit community of physicists I was working in during graduate school. I knew he had made comments in his blog from time to time about stuff like this, but I had no idea people viewed him as a New Atheist! I guess he must be getting a much wider audience these days than when he started his blog on his personal website back in the day.
After reading his thoughts on this subject, I find they are pretty much identical to mine. I wonder if there is something about being trained as a physicist that lends one to thinking about certain issues in certain ways.
