When one considers, that even since the beginning of the Enlightenment in Western civilization, many of the West's greatest scientists were also people of faith, her statement against faith is profoundly uninformed. To be a scientist and a person of faith are not mutually exclusive realities. Only a simpleton or an anti-religious bigot would imagine that to be the case. An impressive resume is one thing, but in her case the best it bespeaks is capacity, clearly it does not bespeak wisdom or real intellect.
