I agree of course but that wasn't what I was getting at. If there was some
deep existential problem you wanted to know more about I can understand why
you would want to discuss it with a mathematician or a scientist, but why
would you ask a expert on religion? Why would you expect a theologian to
give a better answer to the question "why is there something rather than
nothing?" than for example, an expert on gardening or an expert on plumbing?
