The definition for scientist doesn't include or exclude the God concept at all. That's just off in it's own philosophical area entirely. The pursit of science is the act of testing things. While the scientist may use the fire and water concepts of desire and feeling to choose to pursue science, they must always be subject to the air and earth concepts of intellect and common sense. If it can't be recreated, poked at, stretched, stressed or otherwise examined by others, it's not science. It's something else.
Actually, when Einstein first proposed his theory it was a hit right away. Lorenz's work had sort of broken the ice already. People noticed, but things move slow in science, so it still took Einstein a little time to get a decent job even after he published.
