RE: [asa] Re: Cosmological vs. Biological Design

Any practicing scientist knows that there all sorts of questions that science cannot answer. These issues govern the practice of science, like honesty, fairness, etc., as well as the scientist's personal lives, love, respect for other, etc. Although these questions are indeed addressed by some religions, nonetheless the questions are fundamental to the true nature of what constitutes a human being. Surely, one can posit that all these questions can be reduced to purely scientific terms and description, but I truly doubt that.

One of the problems is that many scientists may be good scientists but =
have a weak theological grounding and many theologians are weak on =
science. I say this as a fact rather than critically. It is =
exceptionally hard for a scientist to have the time to spend on
getting =
his theology up to M Div standard and unless a theologian has a =
scientific background their science will be weak.
Several science and religion writers like Peacocke and Polkinghorne =
wrote their productive theological work AFTER a career in science.
Hence what is needed is multiple authorship on these subjects drawing =
theologians , OT scholars , biologists geologists etc and the odd =
anthropologist to deal with the Hobbit! (and not dabblers from other =
fields)
