Science, Creation & EvolutionGenesis: Lets cut to the chase...I firmly belive that science CONFIRMS the extistence of a creator rather than it refutes it. There is no scientific reason not to believe in God. I don't think I got a problem with those scientists that combine religion and science - I highly respect them. I found some very interesting quotations of Lord Kelvin on wikipedia: 1."It seems to me that when a scientific man says--as it has been said from time to time--that there is no God, he does not express his own ideas clearly. He is, perhaps, struggling with difficulties; but when he says he does not believe in a creative power, I am convinced he does not faithfully express what is in his own mind, He does not fully express his own ideas. He is out of his depth." 2."Everything is in a state of evolution and progress." I think they give impression of his way to combine Christianity with science. The most disturbing fact is that many fundamental Christians seem to see a contrast between science and faith, but in fact it's our job to build bridges between both as they belong to each other. I think the truth of the Bible is not bound to the historical correctness of every single word. Freedom of course must have boundaries. Unlimited freedom would probably lead to what Thomas Hobbes called "bellum omnia contra omnes", the war of all against all. Yet that boundaries are to be set where they endanger life, health or property of others. I suppose thr state of moral was not any better a thousand years ago. But to define moral behaviour is not very easy. I suggest reading some philosophical works, especially the impressive work of Immanuel Kant. |
