Q Science teaches people to deal with facts rather than fictional myths. How could
anybody with a scientific training believe in the Bible or religion?
A. One fact to consider is that many great pioneering scientists have been religious
believers, from Copernicus to Newtown, Darwin, Pasteur and many others, including
Francis Collins who played a huge role in mapping the human genome. Moderate
scientist deal with measurable facts only
whereas great innovative scientists also use
imagination and intuition. Religious symbols, stories and beliefs develop fertile
imaginations. Nobel Prize winner, Werner Heisenberger, said that the first sip from the
cup of the natural sciences makes atheists, but at the bottom of the cup, God is waiting
Prayer for Fine Weather Almighty ever living God, grant us the gift of fine weather for our
