Faith writes: That's a pretty good way of summing up our differences I suppose, but it prompts me to confess that even before I was a Christian I objected to the way "science" was always focused on mindless physical events rather than on humanity, on the vast cold universe or the mechanical chemical operations of evolution that supposedly brought about this or that human "adaptation." I just don't see the two as being mutually exclusive and I'd go so far to say that they can be complimentary. As Christians we can look at the discoveries of science in awe as mankind continues to strive to determine not why, but how God did it. Also of course, science does focus on mindless physical events, but at the same time that focus has from a humanistic or Christian perspective, brought about huge benefits for humanity. Look at the advances in medicine or even your dishwasher.  (Unfortunately much of it has been misused but that is another subject.) On the whole as Christians we should give thanks to scientists for their study of mindless physical events.He has told you, O man, what is good ; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God. Micah 6:8
