Moscow Patriarch Kirill decided to congratulate the famous Russian zoologist Nikolai Drozdov on the anniversary, as he was convinced that the scientist is one of the few representatives of the scientific intelligentsia of Russia who "will not send him nafig"; Similar gestures are needed by the head of the ROC to "be in the trend and on hearing".

This opinion was expressed to the "Observer" by the Russian publicist Alexander Nevzorov.

"Probably, Cyril thought for a long time who he would not be sent to nafig in case he came to someone with this patriarchal prize, with this congratulation and rewarding. And now they found this absolutely unrequited, sweet, kindest person. Indeed, it was very difficult to find a more delicate person in Ostankino than Drozdov. Even with the most stupid and primitive, he always talks politely, heartfelt and educated, "- explained the publicist.

"And now, feeling safe, that this one will not send it, Gundyaev drew himself to Drozdov, because they really are flirting with the intelligentsia, they are flirting with famous people, they always want to be in a trend, on hearing, to show their closeness to Zoology, to television. In fact, they Drozdov absolutely up to the bulb "- convinced Nevzorov.

Answering the question of the "Observer", whether it is possible to regard the words of the patriarch about the "careful attitude to nature" and "care for God's creation" as an attempt to reconcile religion and science, the publicist confirmed: "This attempt is not made for the first time, Do not need, and most importantly - it is too late ".

"The fact of the matter is that this religion is in terrible need of science and badly needs to be washed and legalized in some way, and science does not feel any need for religion in any religion.

It's just that nobody has been interested in a hypothesis for a long time, which no one is seriously discussing and which is even considered to be a bit of a bad tone, because everything is already clear without all these gods, "he explained..

"It is simply believed that Gundyaev is wagging behind the intelligentsia and doing this, as always, is not very skillful," noted the publicist.

Recall, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill congratulated the famous Russian zoologist Nikolai Drozdov on the occasion of his 80th birthday, and also awarded him the Order of St. Macarius.
