The Two Sources of Truth
I recently listened to this book on CD by Francis Collins called: The Language of God a Scientist Presents evidence for belief. Dr. Collins who has a PhD in chemistry, an MD, and various other degrees and who was the head of the human genome project spoke at our dental school graduation this past May. I was stunned when a good portion of his speech was about God, Family, and making contributions to society. He said that eventually all of us will have to deal with the big questions of life like: "What is the purpose of life?" and "Why are we here?" The amazing thing about this renowned scientist is that he was once an atheist and it was not until his residency following medical school when he was confronted with patients facing imminent death that he came to question his lack of belief in God. He then said that a friend recommended the writings of C.S. Lewis which he read and began his logical basis for belief in God. I highly recommend Dr. Collins' book, he also has a website dedicated to reconciliation of Faith and Science called the BioLogos Foundation. I agree with Dr. Collins: you can be a firm believer in God and still be a good scientist, and the two main sources of truth are rigorous science and God himself.
