My bug...I should have been clearer on this post... My bug-a-boo is not so much with science per se, but more with those who look to science for all the answers. Deists, having discarded a personal God have to look to reason and science to explain the inexplicable or uncomfortable. There are of course many scientists who believe that Jesus Christ is God and many Christians who believe as I do, that science is a valuable tool in our world, used and guided by God to improve our circumstances... just as Satan can use those same scientific discoveries to confound us.<br />As Kaybee says, it comes down to the solution of the conflict between good and evil.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-31407617653484412832011-01-07T09:21:43.926-08:002011-01-07T09:21:43.926-08:00I agree, Snafu, God has left us many things to fig...I agree, Snafu, God has left us many things to figure out for ourselves - and new inventions are always exciting (even if, as one ages, one tends to get left behind!). I am always in awe of what we are able to accomplish with technology - especially on the computer...and how rapidly we are advancing.<br /><br />But what I find it interesting is that there is a good and bad use for so many of our inventions/technologies - and the 'bad' is usually so destructive, ie: nuclear power and war, computers and pornography/hacking/ID stealing etc, medicine and germ warfare, planes and pollution etc. The theme of good and evil seems to just naturally run through our world...and man seems incapable of overcoming the evil without some supernatural Help!kaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808550103489943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-5423120082951991072011-01-07T06:55:56.902-08:002011-01-07T06:55:56.902-08:00Funny cause I always think of scientists trying to...Funny cause I always think of scientists trying to play God.

Most people only get to see its results filtered through bad reporting by the media.<br />Few journalists understand what they are reporting and only think in headlines. Imagine the New Testament being re-written by reporters, it would be rather difficult to follow.<br />Many 'scientists' have no conflict with religion and their search for truth, but no one believes we will ever know everything. I have said once before, that if all the things we can learn are compared to a football pitch, we have so far only looked at one blade of grass. My contribution to that tiny bit of knowledge was being a small part of the team that discovered that Jupiter has a magnetic field, something unexpected. God has left us a lot of puzzles like this to solve and if you like that sort of thing, then let’s do it. Unexpected things turn up and discoveries like the transistor are making this Blog possible. I see no religious conflict in puzzling out physical truths, no more than doing a crossword or Sudoku.snafuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07588812293454033077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-69737607836755215642011-01-07T00:09:47.514-08:002011-01-07T00:09:47.514-08:00A very powerful post and much thought provoking as...A very powerful post and much thought provoking as well, makes one think of the possibilities of what is and what isn'tAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13640362402042596214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-18321252735119963822011-01-06T17:57:10.681-08:002011-01-06T17:57:10.681-08:00Some awesome and profound thoughts, Chris.Some awesome and profound thoughts, Chris.kaybeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12808550103489943108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6520893128143413982.post-90125087074832594452011-01-06T17:17:48.806-08:002011-01-06T17:17:48.806-08:00I appreciate your reminder that the argument betwe...I appreciate your reminder that the argument between 'science'and a belief in God and Creation is not a new debate for our times.<br />I'm also enjoying the new-to-me story of how The Messiah was put together.
