I think Dave! answered it already when he said they were different realms.
I think no more or less of a scientist because of his non scientific
beliefs, unless he indulges in Jon Kozan's fallacy of letting faith pollute
his science (just as faith regrettably pollutes so many topics here on
.debate of late, dragging the discussion in unimportant, uninteresting and
unnovel directions) and thus makes it invalid work.
This is entirely analogous to my stance on bands and politics.
