Proponents of intelligent design don’t accept that some of the very complex nanomachines that we have inside ourselves could have come about solely on the basis of natural selection.
I’m enormously interested to see where neuroscience can take us in understanding these complexities of the human brain and how it works, but I do think there may be limits in terms of what science can tell us about what does good and evil mean anyway, and what are those concepts about?
The airman must possess absolutely untroubled nerves.
God decided to create a species with whom he could have fellowship. Who are we to say that evolution was a dumb way to do it? It was an incredibly elegant way to do it.
Nobody gets argued all the way into becoming a believer on the sheer basis of logic and reason. That requires a leap of faith.
In my own experience as a physician, I have not seen a miraculous healing, and I don’t expect to see one.
If God is real, and I believe he is, then he is outside of nature. He is, therefore, not limited by the laws of nature in the way that we are.
I’ve never heard God speak out loud to me. That’s not an experience I have had.
I’m always feeling like I’m lacking wisdom. This reassurance that one can ask God for that and it will happen is certainly reassuring to me.
I’m a serious Christian. I take my faith seriously. I try to practice it every day of the week, not just on Sunday.
I’m a pretty informal guy. I ride a Harley.
I think there are people who’s lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.
God is an awesome mathematician and physicist.
As a scientist, you’re not supposed to make decisions without the data.
A technological advance of a major sort almost always is overestimated in the short run for its consequences – and underestimated in the long run.
One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
God gave us free will, and we may choose to exercise it in ways that end up hurting other people.
Research is so unpredictable. There are periods when nothing works and all your experiments are a disaster and all your hypotheses are wrong.
It’s interesting when you read the life of Christ how much of his time he spent healing the sick. There must have been a reason for that – he was modelling for us what it is we are intended to do by following his path.
The word ‘living’ has so many connotations that I’m almost reluctant to try to define it scientifically because it sounds as if I’m then downgrading all the other significances of that word.
