It's not a religious conviction, but I am a geologist, and I've had this pet peeve every since I watched the movie East of Java (the volcano actually was west of Java.) Us Geologists tend to be sticklers for correct nomenclature (I guess that's why they say we have 'A' personalities.) A Priest that was a Seismologist? That's awesome!

I wish I could recall his name. What a wonderful guy. He had been in charge of that department since its inception. This was over 30 years ago and there were not nearly as many seismographs in the US at the time. I had not thought about him in a long time, actually since the last big wave event. I recall how precise he was in his discussions.

And get three of us together and you'll get five opinions.
