Quote:I'm not saying it's impossible for a priest to turn atheist or be an in the closet athiest. Obviously, there exist all kinds of people. 
It's happened plenty 

Quote:What I'm saying is that from the looks of things, there's no reason to think Lemaitre's beliefs were anything other than what he claimed them to be. 
He likely believed at one point 

Quote:It seems Jehanne is skeptical only because Lemaitre was intelligent. In which case he needs to examine his own prejudices and bigotry.
Nope
Lemaître did not discover the cosmic expansion he was only one of many who independently came to that conclusion.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
