There's nothing that's been discovered by scientists which does anything to cast doubt on the existence of God and much that has been discovered which affirms it... Indeed, the more we learn about the human body the more easily one draws the conclusion that it's the product of intentional engineering. The more we learn about the origin of life the more we realize how implausible it is that blind, purposeless forces could have brought it about. The more we learn about the origin the universe and its origin the more compelling does Genesis 1:1 sound.read the rest
There is no conflict whatsoever between science and God. How could there be? The conflict we see today is between naturalism (the view that physical nature is all there is) and theism. There is nothing about science that requires its practioners to embrace naturalism. Those who do, do so because they simply don't want the universe to be the kind of place where a God might intervene.

I am trying to wrap my head around some interesting writing by Ravi Zacharias. Briefly, some Men of Science get upset with theists because they assert (wrongly) that theism leads to an attitude concerning Nature that is sort of "well, that's the way things are; that's how God made it, therefore it's not worth changing or analyzing."
But these same Men of Science don't seem to see that materialistic science breed just the same sort of attitude about the non-material, or spirit. They feel the only stuff worth thinking about, changing, etc., are the material things.
I dunno. Could be a mistake. The thought is mine, so I take responsibility for the sense of it, or lack thereof.
