We trust scientists because they represent a system of inquiry which is intrinsically trustable. If we find out a scientist isn't doing science properly, then out he goes.
Trusting a preacher represents a belief system which doesn't establish a trustable system of inquiry. Therefore his opinions aren't trustable-- EVEN IF the guy himself seems honest and reliable.
I said it
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
