Transubstantiation 'miracle' shenanigans

[Pyrrho]

Scientists can have any kind of strange beliefs, as long as they keep it out of their work. Just because they are a successful scientist, that doesn't validate random claims they make that have not been scientifically demonstrated.

The list of scientists is also irrelevant to my post, in which I stated:

Regarding chemistry and this subject:  The doctrine of transubstantiation predates modern chemistry.  In fact, I seem to recall some resistance to modern chemistry by the Catholic church precisely because of the doctrine of transubstantiation.  Now, they seem content with nonsensical pronouncements about it, instead of denying chemistry.

Initially having a dislike for a scientific theory because it does not fit with transubstantiation has nothing to do with whether or not one can be a scientist and be a member of the Catholic church.  The Catholic church no longer has a problem with chemistry, as they are now content to make nonsensical claims and pretend that chemistry has nothing to do with transubstantiation.

This is similar to the initial Catholic objections to the idea that the earth moves around the sun (remember Galileo?), but they are okay with that idea now.  They just let the Bible be wrong about some things, while pretending that it isn't, by making various nonsensical claims.

The modern Catholic approach is to speak gibberish and pretend that it is meaningful.  It is more tolerant of science than those Christians who take the Bible more seriously.
