What would happen if scientists were required to be celibate like Catholic priests are?

Answer 1

That would be the end of science.

Answer 2

Catholic priests do get married. To little boys. And they have SEX.
. Don't you read the newspaper or listen to the radio or watch T.V.?

Science does not see a purpose in this activity. Some are married, some are not. Like regular people who do regular jobs.

Answer 3

In the NEXT generation there would be a vastly diminished number of scientists.
I could imagine the scientific inquisition with the zealots invading homes in the middle of the night to determine if a scientist was secretly having sex.
Of course it wouldn't actually need any offenses to occur. The mere POSSIBILITY of the offense would give misogynists the right to condemn innocent people.

Answer 4

Stupid ideas are the realm of churches

Answer 5

We would have no farging science.

Answer 6

Well, they would change the rules? Like, if science was in demand, more kids would be born good scientists.
