In response to this from me: Interesting discussion between a reputed Oncologist, a brilliant Neuroscientist and a good Priest. Two among them are definitely not quacks.
Gilbert Lawrence wrote: Jose..... if priests talking about medicine are quacks, what should doctors talking about religion be called? -------- JC's RESPONSE: Gilbert, Please be advised that IMHO, your statement (quoted above) is a non-starter as it makes assumptions which can easily be contested. a: I know many priests (mainly Jesuit) who possess recognised qualifications in the field of medicine. These priests are not quacks. Quacks are quacks. Do I need to spell out the meaning of the term "quacks"? b: Religion is a personal matter. Anyone (including a doctor) can talk about religion or the absence of faith in religion. c: Theology, on the other hand, is the area that many priests have specialised in. It would be daft for a doctor to talk about Theology unless he was also a priest ....like the Rev Drs. (Jesuits), I know. Now, what is it you were saying again? (Your blind opposition to Dr. Santosh Helekar & his expressed opposition to Plagiarism having been noted) jc
