One can be “exceptionally intelligent in one arena of thought and actually quite naïve in another,” Barron wrote in an online column Wednesday. “This, I’m afraid, is the case with Stephen Hawking, who, though uniquely well-versed in his chosen field, makes a number of blunders when he wanders into the domains of philosophy and religion.”
A well-known speaker and bestselling author, Barron suggests that the modern mind naturally assumes that if a person is exceptionally competent in one discipline, he will be an expert in everything, which simply is not the case.
