another quote while on lunch break


“Everyone says that Christianity is a science stopper.  But the founders of science (from 1300 to 1700) believed it was a science starter.  Their assumption was that nature was intelligible.  And it was intelligible because it was the product of a rational mind. Our minds, being made in the image of that rational mind, could understand the design, order, and patterns that were in nature.  Thus giving us the expectation that we could search nature and expect to find that underlying design and order.  Randomness plus time plus chance seem to me to be the science stopper.”
