The point is the guy is a brilliant mathematician and computer scientist. As a beginning student of computer science/math myself I have just begun to read his books. I was surprised to find out that he was a Christian like me.

The same surprise seems to be happening to me a lot this year, both the chair of the math department at my college, one of my other math teachers, and my biology professor have all turned out to be Christian. Also one of my Chemistry teachers has told me that her and her husband also believe in God, but not so much a Christian God as their nebulous idea of a higher power.

So yes indeed, to me and many other people, Knuth being a Christian is at least a little more important as popcorn. Since this section of the forum is for "infinite" subjects and many here have in the past made reference to the supposed stupidity and/or gullibility of Christians then I believe that my thread is relevant.
