RE: The Priest Who Discovered The Big Bang
Truth be told I think the notion that religious people didn't or don't mix with science is false. Quite a few were pioneers of breakthroughs in their day. I will have to make an in depth research to back up my claim though, so I guess I'll respond to your question later
I think you're right, however you also have to take into context that a lot of discoveries that were made a long time ago, were made in places whereby you kind of had to be religious, admitting not to be would have meant castigation or even death.
So in that respect it's very hard to tell who was really religious and who was just lying to save their lives and/or careers.
In this case though, he was definitely religious.
