Harmony of Science and Religion

Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Human Genome Research Institute, recently told CNN that "he finds no conflict between science and religious faith." As a fellow scientist I have to agree with him. In Romans Paul says, "For His invisible attributes, namely His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made." So rather than being at odds with faith, science is meant to point us towards faith in Christ. The more I learn about science and about God's glorious creation it makes me stand in wonder at how great our God is. I am glad that as a scientist Dr. Collins was able to acknowledge the harmony that exists between science and religion. We need more scientists like him who are intimately acquainted with the God of the universe. God is the one who created what scientists seek to discover each and every day. May God open the scientists' eyes to behold the glory of God in their discoveries. By clicking on the picture you can read the complete article by Dr. Collins.
