Whose Ethics Guides Science?

@Jordan

I totally agree that quite often the “origins debate” has distracted people from more pressing issues. However, I do think in order to get more good done in the word as you have rightly pointed out, I would like to see as many Christian young people as have the aptitude and desire feel comfortable pursuing careers in science and medicine instead of thinking they must always choose between science and their faith. The more heads working together on the very real problems the better. My postdoc office-mate was socialist-leaning atheist, I was a Republican Christian. We had wonderful conversations, we learned a lot from each other and respected each other, and got some science done along the way .

I agree that everyone needs a science based education. While everyone doesn’t need to be scientists, everyone in the modern world we live in such understand rudimentary biology, chemistry and physics. And basically how things work. It really doesn’t matter what religion they belong to or don’t bellow to. But they need to realize that there is a real reason why there are more intense hurricanes now (and the reason isn’t SSM)
