science

I see science as an effective route to discovery of ideas about things that work. I have a very practical view of science and scientific theories- if they work, then great, they must be pretty good ideas. I do not see science as a "religion" nor as a complete world-view. Put I do think science does a pretty good job of expanding our understanding of the universe.

I believe there are many unanswered questions on the border between science and religion. My experiences in life lead me to have faith that these questions will someday be answered. In the mean time, I hold firm that science that works is good. And that religion that works is also good. I am not too concerned about the interface between the two. I approach most of these interface questions with a "wait-and-see" attitude. I believe God works though the same laws that we have seen through science. This belief leads to the logical conclusion that eventually all of science and religion will eventually end up in the same place.
