No doubt as the years go on, we'll keep learning more and more, but there's so much that we don't know! Do you think there will ever be a time where we won't have anything left to learn? What would we do then??<br /><br />But in regard to science, it's interesting to note that the majority of the early leaders in science were, in fact, Christians! <br /><br />It's hard to say, then, that "Scientific answers have allowed for far more human progress than religion" because the founders were Christian! I'd say it's just about the same, then! <br /><br />Thanks for the post, Alonzo! There's some things I'd love to chat with you about the first paragraph, but I'm so glad you wrote about the Apollo project. Sometimes we'd just rather forget, but that's never the way to go.Jennifer Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17540163996259970293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-8014938420213875302010-11-27T16:10:04.334-07:002010-11-27T16:10:04.334-07:00"Nowhere in the whole Apollo project was any ..."Nowhere in the whole Apollo project was any issue ever explained by saying, "God did it." Indeed, if these types of answers, rather than scientific answers, were the working model of the day, Apollo would never have lauched."<br /><br />Excellent point. Scientific answers have allowed for far more human progress than religion would have alone. Advances in medicine, sanitation, communication, transportation, etc. are all evidence of science's efficacy.<br /><br />As for fundamentalists who claim that science cannot give us all the answers ... I've found that most fundamentalists are happy to benefit from the fruits of science (i.e., vaccines, cars, TV) until science tells them something they don't want to hear (i.e., evolution or climate change).Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.com
