[Phys-L] Re: god friendly science



I agree with you, Mark. As has happened countless times before,
Christianity is being forced to dump outdated interpretations in the
light of new advancements in science. This is inevetible, and I wish
the transition could be a little smoother. However, I believe a more
science-friendly God will surely emerge.

guarantee that one is a "good person". I've met many religious people
who are good persons, but I've also met many who are narrow-minded,
ignorant and uncaring.

In reading through the many posts on "god-friendly science", I've come
to the conclusion that what we need is a science-friendly god.

I am embarrassed by this type of thoughtless attack on religion. My own
experiences with people of faith have been nothing but positive.
