Re: [asa] Will science always find a way?

I have no particularly expertise in this area but reading and listening to other scientists, it sounds like the new method is no closer to actual medical uses than the cloning approach.? Seems like it's a bit early to be doing so much crowing about breakthroughs

And it's a bit ironic that Bottum should make himself and First Things sound so pro-science.? FT has never shown any deep insight into science/theology issues, despite the occasional article by a knowledgeable scientist -?usually Stephen Barr.? At least the editorial staff is particularly enamored by ID -- which is also ironic given that founder R.J. Neuhaus in his Lutheran then Catholic training should have been particularly well suited to see the theological inadequacy of ID.

What do you make of?today's WSJ?op-ed piece?by the editor of First Things?

http://www.opinionjournal.com/federation/feature/?id=110010915

?

I'm not sure we can say it can be universally expected that "science will always find a way." Yes, we should look but it's not?a given.

?

Also, what do you biochemistry experts say about the technical work?
