Some modern and great genetic scientists have turned away from their atheism and blind acceptance of darwinist dogma

The scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome has posited that such discoveries bring man "closer to God."

Francis Collins, director of the U.S. National Human Genome Research Institute, says that unraveling the human genome gave him a first-hand view of the handiwork of the Almighty.

In his forthcoming book, "The Language of God," he explores one of the most amazing discoveries of the modern era – that life is actually encoded with a mind-boggling amount of information written out in a clearly understandable language. Needless to say, information and language are not the byproducts of random chemical reactions or other godless evolutionary mechanisms.

Like the renowned former atheist Antony Flew – who announced last year that recent scientific discoveries had convinced him of the existence of a creator-god – Collins grew up believing in evolution and had no interest whatsoever in the "God" question. He states: "I was very happy with the idea that God didn't exist and had no interest in me."

But by surrendering to God, was he abandoning science? Not at all, as even an article about him in the Sunday Times in Britain acknowledged. The Times pointed out: "Collins joins a line of scientists whose research deepened their belief in God. Isaac Newton, whose discovery of the laws of gravity reshaped our understanding of the universe, said: 'This most beautiful system could only proceed from the dominion of an intelligent and powerful being.' Although Einstein revolutionized our thinking about time, gravity and the conversion of matter to energy, he believed the universe had a creator."

We must remember, after all, that the scientific method itself was developed in a distinctly Christian culture (Europe at the end of the Middle Ages) and was advanced for two primary Christian purposes – for the glory of God and the benefit of mankind. These early scientists believed that because God was rational and orderly, and a Lawgiver to boot, the universe had to be rationally arranged in an orderly manner with fixed laws, which in turn meant it could be both studied and understood by His created beings. And that's precisely what they found – rather than the chaotic world that would exist if evolution were true.

Furthermore, many of the greatest pioneers of science – including the founders of whole branches of science (Newton, Pascal, Boyle, Faraday, Pasteur, etc.) – were Bible-believing Christians. Newton wrote far more on theology than he ever did on science, and observed that the sun was at the proper distance from Earth to give us the right amounts of heat and light. "This did not happen by chance,".

Scientists have since discovered dozens of such equations throughout the universe that, if any one of them were off by the smallest of fractions, life on our planet would be unsustainable. So it turns out the heavens really do declare the glory of God, as the Bible said all along. It's no wonder Kepler defined science as "thinking God's thoughts after Him."

" The scientist who led the team that cracked the human genome has posited that such discoveries bring man "closer to God.""

You do realize that Francis Collins rejects both creationism and Intelligent Design. He is more of an Theistic Evolution kind of guy.

Here is Francis Collins definition of Theistic Evolution

(1) The universe came into being out of nothingness, approximately 14 billion years ago,

(2) Despite massive improbabilities, the properties of the universe appear to have been precisely tuned for life,

(3) While the precise mechanism of the origin of life on earth remains unknown, once life arose, the process of evolution and natural selection permitted the development of biological diversity and complexity over very long periods of time,

(4) Once evolution got under way no special supernatural intervention was required,

(5) Humans are part of this process, sharing a common ancestor with the great apes,

(6) But humans are also unique in ways that defy evolutionary explanation and point to our spiritual nature. This includes the existence of the Moral Law (the knowledge of right and wrong) and the search for God that characterizes all human cultures throughout history.

Basically God put one heck of a spin on the first shot and let evolution do what evolution does.

Is that what you believe?

It must tough for the modern day evolutionist to admit that Newton, Pascal, Boyle, Faraday and Pasteur believed in Intelligent Design. Genetic Scientists must post their pictures on refrigerator doors for everyone to laugh at.
