Odd.

Not really, I know a few too, a GP, a professor in astrophysics, a doctor in palliative care, and one who has done a lot in IT , systems analyst, software testing/security and other stuff I don't understand. 

What is odd is believing having a deep seated faith excludes people from critical thinking 🤔

Israel has a far bigger air force, more tanks, and a mature nuclear weapons program, even Saudi couldnt take them on

Indeed. 

My friend's dad is a retired bishop, he's also a microbiologist. He still acts as a mediator for warring countries in Africa. Religion and brain cells aren't mutally exclusive, but religion can be blamed for many things that are ultimately down to people who express the worst elements of human nature.

Don't get me wrong; I wasn't suggesting for a minute that faith/religion and intelligence are mutually exclusive. (The two that I referred to are both extremely sharp.) It's just that to my mind critical thinking seems to dispel most of the principle tenets of religion. I'm puzzled that someone can believe in something that doesn't make logical sense. The coexistence of subjective and objective realities maybe, is that what I mean? I'll stop there as I have neither the philosophical knowledge nor vocabulary.

that's never stopped most of the other posters and it won't stop me

A bishop and a microbiologist - sure he can swab a bit of agar with the best of them, but when he thinks about bacterial genes changing through random mutation and natural selection over millions of generations - is this the work of God or just Nature getting on with it?
