Thank you, Don. I am delighted a biologist liked the post. I fell in love with the theory of evolution after watching Attenborough’s beautiful documentary on it, Life on Earth. It is so simple and elegant that there is something divine about it. And it does not contradict Genesis if we read Genesis as metaphor and poetry rather than a textbook on geology or paleontology. I have never found it hard to believe in Jesus and evolution!

Thank you, LA, and delighted your comments are showing up on Disqus!

I, too, am a biological science person and a teacher of young’uns. Unfortunately, I have encountered those who say that religion and science cannot coexist and they relegate God to a small box. To me, knowing that God set in motion this incredible universe makes me all the more in awe. In fact, the more science I learned as a youngster, the more my faith and amazement grew. To me, the two, science and faith, walk hand in hand, each answering the other. God reveals himself through our scientific discoveries as a creator of many wonderful processes. I second Don’s praise of this post…inspired!
