Elie A. Shneour

[1] After the Fall of France, Shneour and his family escaped to Spain at the insistence of his mother, while his father (who was educated in Germany and spent World War I in Berlin, working in a hospital) could not believe the impending catastrophe was actually happening.

In 1971, Shneour moved to La Jolla (San Diego), California, with his family, where he served for two years as director of research for Calbiochem (later acquired by Boehring.)

[citation needed] A Christ myth theorist, Dr. Shneour authored a glowing review of Michael Paulkovich's book No Meek Messiah”.

"[5] Pondering CSICOP's role and objectives, Shneour reflected on the fact that "collectively we remain a series of small islands of rational thought in the vast ocean of scientific illiteracy."

In CSICOP's 1998 feature article, he remarked that "skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness.

Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas".
