Discovering GOD in the LAB!

The idea of discovering God in a laboratory sounds self-contradictory to many; after all faith is central to a relationship with God! How could one possibly have such a relationship without any faith in the first place? How could measuring outputs and testing principles induce said faith? For haven't science and religion always been at odds because God cannot be discovered in a laboratory?!

True, science and religion have not always seen eye to eye. But I don't think that means God Him/Herself renounced any and all laboratories across the globe. What if these labs were less a place to prove the presence of God, and more a place to record His/Her work and expressions? Wouldn't dappling in the sciences, and any research therein, only strengthen this belief?

I hear a few clear critics disagree among our audience- the sciences require an objective mindset that doesn't presume an output or result, one that stays open to any and all possibilities. Starting from a point of faith is not only counterproductive, it is antithetical. Yet, just maybe sometimes the findings are so grand and moving, that a greater force becomes apparent in the volumes of calculations and numbers that emerge.

This isn't just conjecture; Dr. Ruth Bancewicz as written a whole book about it! A research associate at the Faraday Institute of Science and Religion at Cambridge (UK), Bancewicz works on positive expressions of the dialogue between science and faith instead of dwelling and fuelling the conflicts between them.

In her recently published book "God in the Lab", she and six other scientists discuss their experiences and the common grounds between science and faith they have discovered. Published by Monarch Books, the work draws attention to the beauty, creativity and inspiring studies of the natural world that occur in laboratories across the globe, bringing a natural appreciation for the work of God.

The book comes highly recommended for both- those who seek to scientifically 生酵素サプリ ランキング validate their belief in the divine, and those who feel the two may be at odds with each other. It's main aim is to illustrate how faith can flourish in the most scientific of environments and mindsets, and the role of creativity and awe in the scientific process. But it seems to achieve much more, by opening up the age old debate on a completely new platform- one that seeks to integrate the two streams instead of further defining the wide between them.

I plan on gifting a few copies to friends and associates who feel religion, spirituality and faith cannot coexist with logic, rational and a scientific bent of mind. For whether or not they buy Bancewicz's version or not, the underlying fact remains- just because they don't see the common threads, does not necessarily mean they do not exist.
