Religion and Science.

There is an interesting post worth reading by Peterr at Firedoglake on the subject of religion and science. Read the whole thing but here's a snippet:
Just as a person of faith who is filled with a passion for justice might become a lawyer, and a person of faith with a passion for healing might become a doctor, so a person of faith with curiosity for the beauty and mystery of creation might become a scientist. "Look at all these marvels," she or he might say, filled with faith and wonder and awe. A scientist with faith then applies his or her intellect and skills to the world, seeking to discover new and interesting things about it. Religion for scientists like this becomes the inspiration for their work, not an impediment to it.
