No windows? No, thank you.

It'd be cool to visit, but I wouldn't want to work there.

Employers don't care about your GPA. Really. Concentrate on finding the best ways to showcase your software engineering (as opposed to CS) skills, ability to work on a team, understanding of key business processes, etc.

Ecklund's claims are greatly exaggerated, if not blatantly false. See http://scienceblogs.com/evolutionblog/2010/05/20/scientists-... for the debunking and http://metamagician3000.blogspot.com/2010/06/sciencereligion... for a more detailed examination of the compatibility of science and religion. Or go straight to the source and try to find an angle that supports your original statement, 'cause I can't: http://img248.imageshack.us/img248/8594/ecklund2.jpg.

Even if it's true that only 20% of scientists believe that science and religion are in constant conflict (citation?), it does not follow that the remaining 80% believe in a supernatural overlord or are members of any mainstream cult.

Looks interesting, but...

Too bad, I'll pass.
