And of course those who point out how little the experts do know are rarely appreciated. Just ask Socrates. He made a life work out of asking questions which exposed how little the wise men of his day knew about things they claimed to be experts in and he ended by being served a cup of hemlock. That said we can't really debate topics relating to religion in this forum. That's what Politics and religion is for.
Heaven forfend.

But where is there any mention of religion in this thread other than the OP?
