Why do educated people become Priests or Clergymen?
D.J.

It is because it is Bod's religious Axiom that you have
to be stupid to believe. And the troll will not
accept any evidence to the contrary, again because
it is not his religious belief. No evidence necessary.

He is also "stirring the pot". He trolls this comment
about every six months.

As for smart believers, arguably the greatest scientist
of our time, the one who came up with the Big Bang
Theory, is a Catholic Priest. His name is Georges Lemaître.

Georges Lemaître also gave wonderful lectures about not mixing
science with religoun.

Of course you can't mix the two. One is based on logic, facts and
proof. The other is a cult based on fairly tales that don't conform
to the facts we know, eg evolution, age of the universe following
your big bang, shape of the earth.
