I believe there is no contradition between reason, (real) science, and faith.

Any contradictions are in our failure to understand, not in God's ability to work His will. The cliche is that Einstein described math as the language of God. I believe that this is true of the real, correct, results of the scientific method. When we really understand the universe and the laws it runs by we will better understand what God has in mind for us. I fully agree with your point. Not only do I see no contradiction, I see confirmation.

Of course trying to explain this to a teacher at my uncle's bible school (an uncle kicked out of Bob Jones' for being too conservative) at an abandoned Nike missle site in southern Jersey back in the 60's (I didn't see any problem reconciling evolution with the sequence of events in Genesis) earned me a caning... ah well.

I too have no problem with allowing for God to use what He made...what IS. Some scientists and the so-called creationists seem to forget Einstein's statements, which were well-considered, since he did things that way, and Jesus' statement that the words he said were "spirit," and had to be comprehended that way.

I thank you for your posts, and the way you conduct yourself.

Just wanted to express my agreement with your elegantly stated concept.

How can one view the periodic table of the elements and not see God's hand?
