Well said by all on the ‘Is There A God?’ question. I would add this observation: Being a scientist does not preclude a person from being a fool. Neither does being a musician, a farmer, a computer geek, a medical doctor, a pastor, a theologian or any other activity. Science is merely the study and observation of stuff. What has happened in the western world is that in the last four or five centuries, God has allowed man to discover more things than had previously been observed and many of those discoveries have made life easier for most of us. Thus, we have begun to see science as the answer to all things and the scientist as the holy prophet of a ‘god’ called science. It seems that Dawkins does believe in a form of god and it is his own mind. Fortunately, the real God is not particularly bothered by Dawkins hypothesis nor is he concerned about losing face in the eyes of the secular world because of Collins ineptness. Imagine the pressure we would all feel if it were left up to us to be God’s public relations team. The Christian world has repeately proved faulty in this endeavour (this past week’s Haggard debacle being a stellar example). I really resonate with the verse from Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both His eternal power and Divinity, so that they are without excuse.” An elderly lady once said, “God is still on the throne and He doesn’t need my vote to keep Him there!”
