No I dont see anything about him being a scientist either.. not sure if i totally misheard or if it was over enthusiastic reporting since it was mentioned as soon as he was named

they also said this guy has spoken out against people refusing to baptize children of single mothers!? I didn't even know that was an issue Confused. Why would people punish babies for any perceived "sins" of their parents.
