My 13 year-old son wants to be a doctor. He is very smart, well-read, disciplined and has everything he needs to reach his goal. We often have long discussions about biology, zoology, evolution, and God. I am not a biologist but I am widely and well read. It is a joy to discuss with him the marvel of life and its incredible complexity, about the amazing confluence of factors from an atomic through a cosmic scale that had to balance just-so to give us this rich opportunity to know what we are coming to know during this narrow window of time between great ice ages.

Some scientists sought nothing less than the total annihilation of religious faith in the wake of Darwinism and Newtonian physics. They not only failed, they failed utterly. Never has religious faith been more fully and powerfully informed by the findings of science than it is today.

Like I said... even if you find all that... 'get' all the answers and explanations and reasons for it all... you are still left with 'why' and 'how' for those 'perfect sequences' and 'natural flow' of everything.

That is the point where most scientists start to find religion.

Rubbish. There has never been a conflict between science and God. The conflict is between science and Earthly religious gatekeepers, who fear that an educated and enlightened congregation might just decide there is no need to pay said gatekeepers a high monthly fee just to scare them them with Hell stories. God gave us brains, and clearly wants us to use them to understand His creation. But the gatekeepers can't have their sheep realizing that.

The situation is an exact parallel to how Democrats treat their inner city black constituents.

Well-said. We're probably about ten years away from the atheistic Darwinists isolating themselves within the science community into their own little camp of skepticism. Too many reputable scientists in other disciplines -- microbiology, cosmology, physics, information science -- are becoming open to the idea of a Creator behind all that they see, in the tradition of the likes of Isaac Newton, Blaise Pascal, Michael Farraday, Johannes Kepler, and most scientific pioneers throughout the history of Western Civilization.
