Why is it so hard for you to believe in God? I'm an environmental scientist and everywhere I look I see the delicate intricacies of life, how everything on Earth appears to be made to such an exacting degree that any slight deviation could have caused life not to exist. I see God in nature, in time, in ourselves (we were created in the image of God, not to be Gods but to be extensions of God: his people), even in evolution (yes I said it). Why can you not see the connections. Science and God can be one after all he was the greatest scientists: he who created time, he who wrote all the unifying laws of physics, the first geneticist, the first biologist, the first botanist, the first ecologist, etc. Don't be blind. Keep an open mind.
Peter, science can only do ultimately trivial things, like cure pimples or cure cancer (and by the way, it doesn't even do either of those things vey well--and that's being charitable). In the medical field I work with both scientists and chaplains, and thus I am very much aware that men of God can do deeper things that science will never do, like help people find meaning in their lives or experience true inner peace, and bring comfort to the dying.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Paul: ***Science*** Bless America -- when was the last time a Man of God cured cancer (or a pimple, for that matter)?
