Lemaitre ! Sure, but his knowledge was gained by the scientific method not his religious studies. Religion is not a method for gaining knowledge about physical reality.
I never said it was. My point was theists can be smart too.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
