When discussing science and theology, it does indeed help to have some level of education on those topics. Otherwise, you run the risk of just making stuff up, reinventing the wheel, and/or making errors that have been made hundreds or thousands of years ago without realizing your ideas aren’t new.

“Education” can also stifle thought and creativity, we’ve certainly seen that in the history of religion and science. Einstein was a postal clerk. The most brilliant rabbis that I’ve ever read, were often men who never read anything but Torah and never left their small villages. Many Christian pastors never had any formal education whatsoever, but that never stopped the HS from using them.
