In the beginning...

I'll start this blogging stuff out by bringing together a few of the random thoughts that led me to start this blog. I am a creationist by faith and upbringing and I am a scientist by education. Some may find this contradictory or incompatible with each other however, as this blog develops I think you will find that contrary to popular belief science and religion truly have no argument against the other!

"Ridiculous" you may be thinking right about now but if you stop and give it some objective thought it should become quite clear to you as to what leads me to this conclusion. You see science is simply a method of experimentation and collection of data. Religion, or it least I should say any faith-based religion, is a method of belief in the absence of data without data faith is an absolute. On the contrary, if there is data there is very little necessity for faith.

Some would argue that if data exists Faith is absolutely unnecessary. Yet there still exists a necessary component of faith. You see, you must have faith that the data is actually correct and that it is accurate. Furthermore the data itself means nothing without interpretation of that data! Faith is also necessary in the interpretation process. You must have faith that the interpretation itself is correct and free from errors and have faith that the person who does the interpretation is qualified, objective and unbiased.

I understand this may be philosophical gibberish to some. To others perhaps nothing more than religious wacko-ism. And yet others as an attempt by this Homo sapien to explain his own understanding of the continued conflict which is either intentionally or unwittingly perpetuated in our society. My desire is that, to at least more than a few of the readers, it at least makes sense, is intriguing, and begins to stimulate thought processes within your own mind.

Regardless of which category you are a member of, welcome to my blog!
