does science contradict God? was Jesus really historically proven? is the Evolution theory just a myth or issit a truth? is there such a term called Theistic Evolution? people say its either u believe in Darwin's Evolution theory or u believe in the Creation account.But i have incidentally came across this man as i read through the latest issue of Times magazine. Francis Collins, a great genetic scientist and a christian himself believes in the term Theistic Evolution. Interesting. shall get one of his books from kino one day. Francis was debating with this Guy named Richard Dawkins. Richard Dawkins is voted as the 3rd most intellectual man of 2006. he is a committed atheist ( someone who doesnt believe in a Creator). religion and God is always a source of debate in America. talking abt intellectuals, the 1st person that pops up in mind is Pope Benedict XVI, touted as the most intellectual Pope of all time. constantly debating about the existence of objective truths vs relativism. In the discussion with secularism and rationalism, one of Benedict's basic ideas can be found in his address on the "Crisis of Culture" in the West, a day before Pope John Paul II died, when he referred to Christianity as the Religion of the Word (the original Greek, Logos, meaning reason, meaning, or intelligence) this is exactly quoted from him : From the beginning, Christianity has understood itself as the religion of the Logos, as the religion according to reason...It has always defined men, all men without distinction, as creatures and images of God, proclaiming for them...the same dignity. In this connection, the Enlightenment is of Christian origin and it is no accident that it was born precisely and exclusively in the realm of the Christian faith....It was and is the merit of the Enlightenment to have again proposed these original values of Christianity and of having given back to reason its own voice... Today, this should be precisely [Christianity's] philosophical strength, in so far as the problem is whether the world comes from the irrational, and reason is not other than a 'sub-product,' on occasion even harmful of its development -- or whether the world comes from reason, and is, as a consequence, its criterion and goal...In the so necessary dialogue between secularists and Catholics, we Christians must be very careful to remain faithful to this fundamental line: to live a faith that comes from the Logos, from creative reason, and that, because of this, is also open to all that is truly rational.[24] bcus of his views on 'faith and reasoning' he was under fire from the muslims.
Lets debunk the myth that Intellectuals cannot believe in a God of Love One day i will be a great Apologetic!! LOlz
