For example:
Two of my old high school teachers, a married couple, who I knew very well for various reasons. They are two of the smartest people I know. If I was going on Who Wants to be a Millionaire they would be right at the top of my lifeline list. Now before you speak up on it, they are both science teachers, one physics, the other biology, geology, and enviromental. However, they are both very well versed in a lot of things, all subjects.
Now in my reform temple, in reality a very small percentage of teh congragation goes to weekly services. Turnout is generally low. However, they must go nearly 50% of the time. They have taught religious school, one of their fathers (a distiguished doctor) taught my father (i think heh). If you ask them how we came to be theyll say evolution, you ask how the universe came to be they can thoughouly explain the big bang theory, and probably several others as well. However they are religious. I have never actually talked to them about this, but I know that they take the religion for it's spiritual value, someplace even to organize ones thoughts etc. In all honesty, i don't know why, but they do. This is one example, I know of others. But it is possible for the two, science and religion, to co-exsist.
