Miracles for the 21st Century: Part 2

Miracles

Someone told a bumble bee once that he couldn't fly, because he was breaking the laws of aerodynamics. His body weight is too heavy for his wings. He flew anyway. You heard the story I'm sure. point: science must adjust and retract(like Einstein stated). Faith must persevere the arrogant contempt of man.

A scientist with faith says, "Show me the way and how Lord" (Newton). A scientist without faith says, "I'm going to find out what makes this tick in the power of my own intellectual strength, faith be damned" (Hawkings).

I realize you are looking for the compatibility quotient for the two - faith and science - and how that will lead to a better understanding on how miracles also occur. I believe there is a compatibility, and you obviously do as well, but until men of science understand that there is a Creator, and they proceed in that respect, such scientists will be taking the long hard road of dangerous unknowns and oft times wind up plaguing mankind with Frankenstein monsters.

My view is that a sound Creator philosophy and wise ethics must precede science, if science is to be beneficial. Science must humble itself to the faith principle (not religious dogma) in order for the two to become compatible. But by all means, let others who feel differently go ahead. We'll see what monsters are birthed unto mankind before the mid 21st century arrives.

I know I went a little off point there, but please continue your miracles clarification postings. You got me interested.
