Scientists have to prove to others their assertions are supported by evidence.
Preachers and priests only have to assert they said so and that becomes a fact to those who prefer myths over reality.

It depends on who the preacher or pastors or scientists are. All people are different. Any preacher who asks you to believe him without proof isn't a preacher for the true God! Some scientists base their findings on facts but others on theory.
True scientific findings will agree with the true God of the bible!

Preachers and Pastors answer questions by referring to the wisdom of God. The strength of their answers relies on the BLIND faith and believe in the wisdom of God. Religion, as we can see through its diversity, is based on very abstract interpretations of written text. In many cases, answers coming from the two such mentioned above include undefined items, or can refer the individual to seek the answer within her or himself, thus making it technically an "answer"
Scientists abide by the scientific method which is a scrutinizing process of any thought, idea, or "fact" Scientist will never assert they have the answers to everything, and when they find an answer to an issue, they treat it as a theory, leaving it open for correction or new discoveries.
Religion states that what it says is fact and needs no physical proof, but only faith, which does not demand explanations, or palpable objects to solidify ideas.

As quoted by Galileo in one of his books, in a paraphrased version, "Preachers teach how to get to heaven, not how the heavens go" Preachers deal with the spirituality, and scientists deal with undercovering the interworkings of God's creations. The things is, spirituality is more opinionated than scientific facts, so a preacher is more able to bullsh*t ideas than scientists are.

Well, Preachers and Pastors claim they know, although they never use their logic/ brain!
Scientists and philosophers who claim they know much or well, are not really good!
Scientists are smarter, since they are using their brain, our most valuable weapon in life! They are so smart that they do not claim they know much! Socrates, as a matter of fact claimed he knew only one: that he knew nothing!

No. They are not. according to YOUR own top man.
In II Peter 2, verses 1 and 2, it says that there are going to be teachers who mock the teaching of Jesus Christ dying for our sins. I Corinthians 15, verses 3 and 4 says Christ died for our sins, he was buried and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures. Now, if the resurrection is just symbolical, then the death must be symbolical. His death was literal. His resurrection is literal. If you don't keep the resurrection, you cannot go to heaven and that is Romans chapter 10, verses 9 and 10. You must accept the literal bodily resurrection of Christ.
Taking the bible literally, it was Sir Isaac Newton and today he's claimed by the scientists of the world to be the greatest mind scientifically to ever exist in history, said just before Christ returns, ministers will mock the idea of a literal Bible. And Sir Anderson who did the 70 weeks of Daniel 9:24 said the same thing. They will mock the literal interpretation of the Holy Word of God. Stick to it and believe what it says literally.

It is not about intelligence, but interpretation of evidence. Many smart people see the same thing different ways.
You need to be specific when you talk about science because there are many branches of it. There is no contradiction between science and God. There is only contradctions between false science and true Christianity or true science and false religion.
