Okay, so, it's been like what, two months, plus, since I updated this thing? Well, here's a bit that I just had to put somewhere for people to see.
In today's Schlock Mercenary, Howard Taylor discussed the subject of Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Me. Now, while I may not share his religious faith, this essay is probably the best way to state my own beliefs.
I believe in God, and I'm a scientist. I know that God created the universe, and that he created it in such a way so that we, his creation, could, one day, understand it. This understanding comes from science, and from faith. But, once must realize that faith without science is blind faith, and science without faith is just as blind.
Each new scientific discovery I hear of reveals to me a new and more interesting level of God's love for us. Take the discovery of antibiotics, a way for us to not only finally claim dominion over some of the smallest of the beings God placed under us, but through the evolution (little e) of resistant bacterium, a new level of hubris.
