I read Scott Aaronson's article on religious rules of interference the other day, and I guess he nailed it: http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=232

What he says is that for religious people, rules of logic and interference only have to applied a limited number of times. So they never arrive at the contradictions their logic really has.

He also says that this mode of thinking is actually default for most people and also works in most cases. So I suppose you can still be an engineer, as long as you are lucky enough to have only projects that are solvable with the "just compute a limited number of steps" rule.
