Unwell

I’ve been sick for over a month now. Since August, my asthma has been overly sensitive, then I got a cold and can’t seem to fully recover. I’ve cough so much I nearly pass out because I can’t stop—and actually have passed out (once last year when I had RSV, and the other night. I started coughing then woke up on the ground). Laughing causes the same result so I must be careful. My head hurts from coughing all the time.  Since breathing is compromised, I have zero energy. I have a nice stool at work on which to sit but getting things done around the house is nearly impossible. Taking the trash up and back absolutely winds me. I have one day off, like today, and all I want to do is sleep.  “ . . . to die, to sleep; No more; and by a sleep, to say we end The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death, what dreams may c...

Does science make belief in God Obsolete?

My friend over at Church of the Kharma Futures sent me this link to A Templeton Conversation: Does science make belief in God Obsolete? Here are two immediate thoughts:

1) Since "science" means "knowledge" (thus "conscience" means "with knowledge"), God would say the answer is "no." In other words, man already knows that God IS. God contributed his article in Romans 1:18-32 in one place among many. To reject Him is to take what man already knows to be true and make for himself a god of his own understanding (thus breaking the 2nd commandment). Science assumes that man have two eyes and a brain that can think. To reject God is unscientific; that is, close the eyes, stop thinking and become a moron (that's the Greek word for "fools" used in verse 22);

2) If science (impersonal) could make obsolete God (personal), what would the results be? I firmly believe that Mary Shelley answered that question 41 years before Darwin published.

Here is Greg Koukl of Stands to Reason with some thoughts on evidence and atheism (specifically):
