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?
At least you could expect the plumber's theories to hold water.
