Lots of scientists become believers once they understand the precision and complexity of creation, from a galaxy to a cell.

[Dallas59]

But how did God create the human genome?

[Paleo Conservative]

Does he play dice?

[Honestfreedom]

I thought he was going to say the genome was G-d. Steven Hawkings has made the statement that if he could find the unified law of physics he will have found G-d, meaning that physics is the replacement for G-d.

“When you have for the first time in front of you this 3.1 billion-letter instruction book that conveys all kinds of information and all kinds of mystery about humankind, you can’t survey that going through page after page without a sense of awe. I can’t help but look at those pages and have a vague sense that this is giving me a glimpse of God’s mind.”

Collins believes that science cannot be used to refute the existence of God because it is confined to the “natural” world. In this light he believes miracles are a real possibility. “If one is willing to accept the existence of God or some supernatural force outside nature then it is not a logical problem to admit that, occasionally, a supernatural force might stage an invasion,” he says.

It looks like the good doctor has seen the error of apriori concluding that no supernatural forces can exist or intervene in our world. Instead just let the evidence lead to the logical conclusions. That is the essence of good research. Good for him.

Wouldn't it be something if he announced he believed in Creation Science? That would send a lot of people here into spasms.

[mysterio]

It is not uncommon for the scientist's faith to be strengthened by what he or she observes in research. I know that has been the case for me so far.

[TXnMA]

PING! This one might prove to be interesting...

[FreedomNeocon]

yes yes... Fibonacci numbers, the frequency of the gods and all that.

Its all irrelevant unless you can answer 'what happened before'

[diamond6]

Beautiful!

[Cinnamon]

It is only logical.. God is the father of all science. He is the master arquitect, the ultimate scientists.

[Pajamajan]

Wow- scientist finds God. I bet that will be an interesting book. Looking foward to it.

Watch how fast his fellows will shun and/or marginalize him now. And watch how fast the media will forget he ever existed.

[DesScorp]

"In further news, scientists worldwide declare genome scientist a quack, kick him out of their professional associations".

[DesScorp]

I see some DUmmie trolls are here today.

[Republic_of_Secession.]

The only people who believe that science & religion are at war tend to be the atheists & secularists - not generally those who subscribe to intelligent design.

[TheWasteLand]

Sounds like an interesting guy.

Among Collins’s most controversial beliefs is that of “theistic evolution”, which claims natural selection is the tool that God chose to create man. In his version of the theory, he argues that man will not evolve further.

Interesting, because in many ways intelligence (as possessed by humans) seems to nullify the effects of evolution. That is, we can "insulate" ourselves from the evolutionary tendency to adjust to environmental changes through the use of our intelligence. I wonder then if one could use that as some kind of rational argument for the notion that evolution (by in large) will stop with current humans, and thus humans as they exist were predestined by God?
