The unfortunate answer to that question is yes. NYT had a story a couple of years ago about a guy getting his Ph.D in Earth Science for an eastern university (University of Rhode Island?) who believed the earth was 6000 yrs old. He was a professor at Liberty University.

Then his degree isnt' worth ****. And I would contend he is not, in fact, educated, irrespective of what a piece of paper on is wall might claim.

I know very bright scientists in a variety of life science subdisciplines who are religious: Muslim, Hindu, Christian. I know two biologists who are fundamentalists, which I used to find entertaining. They are good people and I know longer torment them.
