Funny you should be a physicist - I'm a retired physics teacher. Many people believe that scientists are inherently non-religious. I've had a wide acquaintance with many in that field (as a member of AAPT - American Association of Physics Teachers) and my experience is quite different.
Many of our group are strong believers (LDS, Catholic, Protestant and Jewish). I've had many conversations with physicists, and their belief in the sanctity of life is more the norm than not.
I worked in the Operations Group, operating, maintaining, trouble shooting, calculating. we had two superconducting cyclotrons having magnetic field strengths of up to over 5 Tesla. The k500 and the k1200. The k value gives the energy to which we could accelerate protons in MeV, but we couldn't run protons. We ran ions, and energy per nucleon was (E/A)= K(Q/A)squared. For example, Carbon with 3 electrons removed at a field of k=500 gives 500/16 =31.25 MeV/nucleon, or 31.25 X 12= 375 MeV for the carbon atom. Just thought you might want to know. The k500 injected beam into the k1200 where more electrons were stripped off, and we could make beams of things like krypton, etc. First physics talk in months. Kind of refreshing,
The public perception indeed persists. What can I say? If you are paying attention you can't really remain non-religious, though it might not send you to any particular creed. People have miraculous experiences and you realize that Jesus could do them on demand, but we can't.
You can search on things like NSCL or MSU cyclotron, maybe plus my name and interesting might pop up.
Mu daughter thought I might not want to mention being a physicist as it might mark me as a pointy headed intellectual.
Thank you for bringing such a vital perspective to such a profound issue. I agree with you. Whether or not one has a healthy respect for the sanctity of life is commensurate with world view, and thus with beliefs and actions. So much of the ruling class globalist elite's policies and objectives make clear their utter disregard for human life.
Thank you for this outstanding essay...and thanks for the sharing mine. I would love to share this one in my next essay. It is completely on point with my depopulation series.
How does one defend 'sanctity of life'? Should won't do it. Certainly the tribe of elites won't ever agree.
Many may pretend to agree, and give examples to get what they want. Then we see if there's
continuing agreement.
How can there be sanctity of life apart of God? Aren't all people, by nature, to various degrees
'self centered'? And definitely we'll come into conflict if 'My self' is spruned by 'Your self'?
We have to have a benevolent power Outside the Box for any sanctity anywhere.
With Lewis, where did the 'soul' come from? Did we conjure it up?
And which god? There's no lack of gods on this earth? And they don't agree.
And they're not even all that benevolent, some of them.
So, which 'god' is benevolent?
These are my considerations of this.
If you're following China on Youtube, you'll surely see absolutely no sanctity of life,
and much worse than that.
Does it amaze you, as it does me, that all this SEEMS to be for the leader, and that's it?
Am I wrong about what I see in this?
The videos I saw explained that this leader made bad decisions, which could never
be critiqued, never be spoken about.
This is just one example, but a big one about where things go without any sanctity of life.
And definitely China is godless in the normal sense of the word. Strangely, I don't see
many of the people wanting any god at all there. Except for the few underground
believers that I've read about, it is very godless. Have others found this also?
I guess all you can do is try to promote sanctity of life in yourself and those around you, and maybe promote in an essay. That's all I could do.

But the public perception persists.
In case you are curious, this is where I worked, at Michigan State University in East Lansing.

It would be my pleasure for you to share it. Thanks.
