Wow.

Had no idea and I would never have connected him with Orthodoxy, but that is a huge contribution :) Thank you :) When did you discover this?
I remembered that he was Serbian and I was curious if he retained any of his Orthodox upbringing. It was interesting to find out his father was an Orthodox priest. Apparently he kept his basic faith & it helped guide him in his pursuit of knowledge to help mankind. I do not think he was deeply religious but remained a Christian.
