As both scientist, theologian and (I hope) a person of faith, I don't find the spheres to conflict at their deepest point - as you point out, the tools of science are not capable of bounding God -- though at some levels they appear to collide.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad you enjoy the articles in the Standard, I'm enjoying the task of writing them!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617476463347663364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-73846472428973058102008-06-22T18:38:00.000-04:002008-06-22T18:38:00.000-04:00Hi Michelle, I don't think that there has to be an...Hi Michelle, I don't think that there has to be any collision at all. Science may be able to show that transcendent experiences occur in certain parts of the brain, that is part of the business of science, measurement and quantification. But, when the scientist takes such an experience as disproof for the existence of God, he or she has stepped beyond science and its method and started to play the role of the philosopher. God, within the Christian tradition, is held to be immaterial, and as such as non-quantifiable. I may be simple, but I just don't see how any experiment or theory, which deals with quantities, could disprove the existence of a non-material entity. If one claims to do so, it would seem to violate the basic logic which science even assumes to do science. Science and religion usually only collide when one tries to impose its method on the other.<BR/><BR/>PS. I have been enjoying your articles in the Standard, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-26590478353129401282008-06-15T11:40:00.000-04:002008-06-15T11:40:00.000-04:00And all of God's people say "Amen" and "Amen."And all of God's people say "Amen" and "Amen."Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02067844122370343813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-73019817133445607312008-06-14T21:39:00.000-04:002008-06-14T21:39:00.000-04:00I am there in the collision with you and science a...I am there in the collision with you and science and faithStratozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148600260976577216noreply@blogger.com
