I stand corrected. That’s a much needed clarification, thanks.

Pete… ideologues are at odds. Science and religion, as understood by quite a few great scientific minds, tend to co-exist quite harmoniously.

Interestingly… though Einstein did not believe in God in the sense of organized religion, per se. He still believed in God, and asserted that true science was only informed by religion, that is, he believed that it was impossible to be a good scientist without having a strong religious orientation. I think the discussion is an important one, actually, it’s fundamental to our existence. I can think of nothing sadder than passing time on this earth without seriously giving thought to the question of “Why am I here? How did I get here? Why do I believe what I believe?” Or worse, being afraid of those questions… or even worse still, being afraid of the answers.

I try not to think about these sorts of things. Now that I am out of college, my thinking days are over. I keep myself busy with my five kids, they keep me up until 3am enough as is; without my worrying if my religion is compatible with science. My oldest came up with a great saying this weekend, he told second in line during an insult fest “Cease the winds from between your chikes.” Which is a nice version of “you’re talking out your bleep.” I think I am going try to this saying out both on my church friends and those who try to insult me for being religious. Cease the wind!!! After I kick # five out of the house, I’ll go back to watching PBS and staying up all night wondering about the cosmos. Great post- it reminded me why thinking hurts.

That’s heavy stuff, but I agree completely. It’s amusing how science and religion are at odds, even though they are so closely related, separated only by rigid faith and steadfast reason. If they were both to be a little more flexible, maybe a few questions could be answered.

This is an incredible post. It’s a question I’ve had recently after watching an enlightening scientific show. You’re point that it is the Theory of Evolution and your reasoning beyond that is a conversation I’ve been needing to have. Thank you for posting this, my never ending curiosity between faith and science has a bit more to speculate about now. However, I feel at times I’ve experienced personal miracles, which are hard to explain without there being some type of deity. Great post.
