At least they are if you are talking quantum physics and shamanism.

Slightly different vocab tho.

It doesn't always work especially if you are a literalist.

Just like Harry Potter is.

As long as you recognize that Harry Potter is just an idea that doesn't actually explain anything in the real world, it's 100% compatible with science.

...fits into a NOMA model of reality.

I wonder where this rabbit hole will take us.

My first church was mostly filled with people who didn't go to college. So they fit the stereotype.

The last two regularly have lay sermons and opening/closing prayers by people introduced as "doctor." They have their PhDs. Not in something like English or history, but in various branches of engineering, in chemistry, in physics. They see no conflict between chemistry and their faith.

In grad school an acquaintance nearly done his thesis in molecular biology confided to me that he was a young-Earth creationist. And was terrified that his advisor might find out. He had presented at conferences, cowritten papers, but to his advisor's mind denied the very basis of the field. Oddly, he treated it as a heuristic that worked. Rather like physicists used classical theory in working out frequencies given a black body's temperature but knew that at some point (prior to Planck's work) that their equations were crap. In other words, they relied on something which empirical evidence said was incorrect. They just couldn't figure out how to fix it. But it worked, so they used it. Very pragmatic, that kind of thinking.

What's amusing is the people who say that they are intelligent enough follow Alice's White Queen: Believing 6 impossible things before breakfast. Then mock those who merely believe two contradictory things at some point during the day. The problem is that pretty much everybody, if pushed, will find places where their thinking, beliefs, actions contract each other or the evidence.

Some need believers like Ken Ham to justify their own attitudes.

His views are popular. He's become rich because many, many Christians agree with him and give him money.

Totally true.

Seen it at the book store.
