What I don’t understand about the current wave of religious sentiment is how closed-minded and narrow it makes the world. Why can’t one believe in a supreme being or God or religiion or whatever you want to call it, and still believe in science?
I watched an interview with Jimmy Carter last week, prompted by his new book I believe, and what most impressed me is that he is one of the few (only??) well known public figures who is obviously a Christian and proud of it, but is also rational, and objective. He is a Christian and a realist and proud to say he believes in God AND Science.
