So why is this stuff important in Tempe, Arizona on the first Sunday of 2005? - Because such textbook piracy could easily happen here in Arizona. -Because God gave us minds that could calculate and imagine, and theorize and do research, and the more of this we do the stronger becomes our appreciation for God. For me, science brings me closer to God. And even the book of Genesis, on the other hand, brings me closer to the first people who tried to put that closeness into images that their contemporaries could understand. In short, the God of Genesis is awesome, but the God of quarks, and string theory, and black holes, and expanding and contracting universes, and evolution, and modern medicine, and mathematics is even more awesome. It would be a sin against God to treat science as some kind of enemy. Science may be just as holy as scripture, and it points us toward the future. But it is up to committed, informed believers to tell the world that science actually points to God. Amen.
John F. Herman
