Science and Faith

"You came riding in on the sunrise
On a hot west Texas day
With a fancy man in a painted wagon
With some fancy things to say
Looks like you folks need some water
Well water is my game
And for the small price of $100.00
I bet you I could make it rain" - Tanya Tucker


If one does not believe that faith and science are intertwined, I submit that one does not understand human nature.

Creationism and Evolutionism depend on both faith and science to maintain their stance.

In today's news we read this: Tooth Scan Reveals Neanderthal Mobility

How many have faith that this is scientific fact that a 40,0000 year old tooth grew up 12.5 miles from where it was found. That is not a rhetorical question, either.

Because we also have this: Special Cable to THE NEW YORK TIMES December 22, 1913

"LONDON. Dec. 21.–A race of ape-like and speechless man, inhabiting England hundreds of thousands of years ago, when they had for their neighbors the mastodon and other animals now extinct is the missing link in the chain in man's evolution, which leading scientists say they have discovered in what is generally described as "the Sussex skull." To this Dr. Woodward proposes to give the name of "eoanthropus," or "man of dawn."

We can assume that there was faith as well as dissention about this report. For 41 years. Until this: The "Piltdown Man" is a famous hoax

Some people are of the opinion that if money and people are involved, nothing is sacred.

Understanding cause and effect is extremely difficult within the human brain. Shakespeare wrote about it, too. It had to do with chickens at a baseball game. And then there was Chicken Little. I am not sure if Chicken Little was making money off of carbon footprints, but he might have been "in the bread pin, pickin' out dough" (Charlie Daniels).


"Hey Lizzy
Well a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Oh come with me Lizzy
And the stars will write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder there comes the rain"
