Steve, what is really surprising is that scientists use  pure intuition to get to the most important discoveries in the physical sciences. Yet the same scientists often criticize intuition when applied to the knowledge of metaphysical truth.

Again, not everyone is the same. But today's academic world frowns upon physical scientists speaking about God, subject striclty pertinent to philosophers. A few centuries ago, scientists were also philosophers and nobody minded. And interesting enough, philosophers often make ample use of scinetific material to try and prove their metaphysical hypotheses.
