None the less, many of the scientists that he refers to found it inportant to view the world through theistic eyes, recognizing the place of man and the universe.

Thank you for your reply. I did acknowedge that his scope was narrow albweit important: in the present-dat, anti-religion climate it's good to remind people of the many scientists that saw in their viewpoint no fundamental contradictions.

I still retain the view expressed in the previous posts: it would be significantly more helpful to address at least some of the aforementioned questions. Note that limitations of space are not present: instead of just piling up more examples, he could have easily broadened the scope.

This whole lecture boils down to this: "Is it possible to be a Christian and a scientis? Yes, look at me. Here is a list of people like me."

Too simplistic, especially for a scientist.

BUt remember, the audience was primarily entering college students. I know for a fact that he goes into much more depth later in the learning process for these students. This was truly an introduction to the concept and to the field of scientific studies.

I don't disagree with your observations, but I am only reporting what he chose to do at the time of this lecture. It is easy to be a "Monday morning quarterback." What he had to say was good, and in my mind right on target, given the audience.
