I would write this as:
"Physicists are not worthy of respect. So the respect afforded to 
Einstein is tantamount, in fact, to idolatrous worship. And because he 
is worshiped, nobody really bothers to check his theories against 
experimental observation. Instead, they just lap it up and fabricate 
things to support their idolatrous worship. Therefore, any experimental 
claim that purports to support Einstein is known right out the gate to 
be fraudulent. Any REAL scientist will doubt the work of any physicist, 
and so not give any respect to any one physicist. Which is what makes ME 
a real scientist."
