God Created Science
Albert Einstein and his brilliant first wife were gifted scientists.
It is the work they did - and Einstein's grasping that matter and energy are manifestations of the same thing - that has led us to a place where science and spirituality are becoming one.
Einstein gave us an idea compatible with science: that we are energy in a form known as "matter."
His theory supports the idea that the energy of God manifests - as all sages have said - in everything we see and understand as the "real world."
I bring this up because the current war against science and facts - including evolution - is a false one, brought about by those whose idea of God is far too small.
In fact, God created us through evolution. We can clearly see that His is an energy that creates through process, when we look at the birth of a child.
A child is not created, fully formed, in the womb. The child develops from a single cell, in a reenactment of our species' evolution from single-celled animals to what we are today.
This microcosm of birth mirrors the macrocosm of how God birthed our species. Thus, there is no contradiction in Christians believing in God and believing in evolution.
Likewise, God is the energy which created us and is us. There should be no contradiction for scientists to believe in God just as they believe in physics and the Quantum Field.
Listen to Albert Einstein explain the Equivalence of Energy and Matter otherwise known as E = mc2
"It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing -- a somewhat unfamiliar conception for the average mind. Furthermore, the equation E is equal to m c-squared, in which energy is put equal to mass, multiplied by the square of the velocity of light, showed that very small amounts of mass may be converted into a very large amount of energy and vice versa. The mass and energy were in fact equivalent, according to the formula mentioned above. This was demonstrated by Cockcroft and Walton in 1932, experimentally."

Hey Clyo,
This is off topic, and also really late, but here goes.
I'm sorry about your kitten.

Hi, Clyo,
the current war against science and facts - including evolution - is a false one, brought about by those whose idea of God is far too small.
And arrogant, petty, and in serious need of being sent to bed without supper. ;)
Seriously, though, this clash between science and religion isn't at all about christianity -- it's about some people's belief that any new idea & practice threatens them. I have minimal sympathy for them because many of them believe this from the experience of being on the receiving end of abuse, but that's no excuse for passing on their abusive doctrine and deity to the rest of us.
I'm not at all sure there is a god, but if there is, I DO agree that evolution is god's process of developing life. Why would any god capable of universal creation waste time and energy manipulating the minute details of one tiny planet in one galaxy? Conversely, if "intelligent design" were true, why are there so many obvious mistakes, duplicated genes, lethal diseases, and other imperfections?
Also, if their god is all-powerful, why do they reject the concept that he might WANT us to ask questions of his creation? A teacher that really knows his subject has no fear of questions and is willing to go looking for answers he doesn't already know. But their ideology is based on the whole concept that questions are evil and that the outline of ideas in ONE book is enough.
Even if the bible is 100% true... it is not and cannot be 100% of the truth, if only because we have since discovered a huge number of things that an iron age desert culture could've never imagined. You recognize that, but they don't.
There's plenty to wonder at and to cherish in natural processes without buying into the far right's mind-closing dogma.
