You've reinforced my notion that creationists look at science as a childish pursuit, best put away by adults who know the Truth.

How condescending.

This world will only throw another "disease" to confound the scientists, in the meantime there are people who need to be loved and shown that their lives have true meaning.

A soul in the womb, who has Down Syndrome, can be conveniently eliminated by science. However, the richness of that life, simple as it may be, can never be lived with the scientific justification for "soulless" life.

I would never attempt to presume condescension, for I know my true nature is desperately wicked. There are many non-believing scientists that live a more moral life than I live today. The difference is I do not claim to be moral in and of myself, for my morality is purely from an outside source, namely Jesus Christ. As He continues to transform me I may begin to become as moral as others who were more moral than me, but my faith is not in myself, it is in what Christ is doing in me.

The blessing is in the revelation of how Jesus Christ is replacing my nature with His nature as I abide in His Word daily. Renewing my corrupt mind with righteous "Truth" revealed to us by the Creator of the universe on the pages of the Book He has preserved for our admonition.

You are intelligent men and women, whom I respect dearly for your knowledge. My prayer is that you may also take another perspective on reality than what you can grasp completely with your own minds. Faith, by definition, requires a risk made by us to tread where we cannot fully comprehend. My experience leads me to share the blessings with you that the Gospel message has set me free from my "bondserv" centric world.

Imagine looking at those around you with a love that surpasses all understanding. To provide relief for one who is struggling, by serving them as a pressure relief valve, is very rewarding. The smile of someone who recognizes the sacrifice in your own life you have made in serving them, is priceless. To make this a way of life by the strength of a loving God. We cannot escape ourselves alone. This is the foundation our nation was built on. This is what the Iraqi's see in many of our troops. This is what Jesus Christ provides when we walk closely with Him!

I love all of you folks.
