I worked with an organization with about 200 science Phds for many years. I respect all for their excellence in their individual field of study.

An observation was that while most were intently focused on their research field, many (while not all) seemed to have deficiencies (possibly from a lack of interest) in knowledge on broader fields. Most notable areas tgat seemed to puzzle them were changing social and political issues and norms ( which often defy traditional logic).

Taking this into consideration, I would not hire any of them to do concrete work in my home, choosing a professiinal in that field. Nor would I look to a vicar to explain any field of science.

This is why it seems odd to me that many look to scientists (Phds) to provide a clear viewpoint (professional or otherwise) on a "religious belief". Why would one expect their viewpoint in this area to be superior týo many others in society? Given a choice, I would choose a philosopher to provide a more logical viewpoint.
