On hallowed days like Christmas, profound questions arise concerning our very beginnings and ultimate fate. For centuries, scientists have struggled with the concept of faith, wondering if it can meld with science. Today we look at one scientist who says yes, and another who declares no.
Science is an orderly, structured way of knowing.
For me, as a Christian, science contributes to the self-revelation of God's order and plan. When science starts to talk about ultimate why, I think it begins to get in trouble. And when faith starts to talk about what and how, as if it were experts, I think it also gets in trouble. I think there's a boundary. Hemingway is an articulate defender of science and religion.
