Very true. But here is the really interesting question:

Given that "thinking clearly" is so valuable, why limit its use to professional fields of knowledge? Why not apply it every day of our lives?

It isn't always easy. But shouldn't we, at the very least, strive to thinking clearly and logically about everything?

Even about religion. God gave us the ability to reason, didn't He? Now, why is that so? What's the point of giving us this wonderful supercomputer we call "the human brain" if we aren't supposed to use it?
