One of the greatest tragedies of our time, is this impression that has been created that science and religion have to be at war
Science’s domain is the natural. If you want to understand the natural world and be sure you’re not misleading yourself, science is the way to do it.
When does life begin? When does the soul enter? That’s a religious question. Science is not going to be able to help with that.
Faith is reason plus revelation, and the revelation part requires one to think with the spirit as well as with the mind. You have to hear the music, not just read the notes on the page.
I believe God did intend, in giving us intelligence, to give us the opportunity to investigate and appreciate the wonders of His creation. He is not threatened by our scientific adventures.
The best diet is the one that can be sustained over the long term, combined with other healthful lifestyle behaviors.
I trained initially as a physical chemist, and then, after becoming interested in biology, I went to medical school and learned how to be a physician. So, I’m a physician scientist.
I’m a serious Christian. I take my faith seriously. I try to practice it every day of the week, not just on Sunday.
Nobody gets argued all the way into becoming a believer on the sheer basis of logic and reason. That requires a leap of faith.
Proponents of intelligent design don’t accept that some of the very complex nanomachines that we have inside ourselves could have come about solely on the basis of natural selection.
I’m always feeling like I’m lacking wisdom. This reassurance that one can ask God for that and it will happen is certainly reassuring to me.
