Perspective my friend.

Science is cool in my book. I leaned in that direction in college and in my career. It's interesting and fun. A God given universe in which we can enjoy discovering His handywork, tainted by the curse as it may be.

It's helped give some people a few more years of life, often with less physical pain, through amazing medical discoveries.

It's given us appliances which make life less about food preparation and preservation.

It's given us all a device to talk to one another from anywhere at anytime, while listening to music in the other ear.

It's given us the ability to cruise around the planet fairly rapidly.

And we can see cool formations out in space we couldn't see before.

However, science has nothing to do with character growth, wisdom or goodness. In fact in the last century, science has been used as a tool to inflict incredible destruction. And one could rightfully argue that the philosophy of those who regard naturalistic materialism as the foundation of truth in our reality, often become bent on conquering the world using heinous methods. This conference exposes those tendencies.

Militaries based on Christian principles produce troops like those we have in Iraq and reject behaviors like those in Abu Grab and with those Crusaders who crossed the line of righteous actions.

Science is entertaining and sometimes helpful, but not something you want to base your worldview.

Perspective!
