Do you need to have high level of education to be an expert?

It is about getting better...

A very popular expert on bible and religion was asked recently this question in a Bible exposition show in  a channel  the religious group owns.  The commentator answered the question saying that the religious leader only reached high school and at the age of 17, bible study became his passion

Some people say "di mataas ang pinag aralan.  "  He said you dont need height in knowledge and understanding. You need depth.
