no big deal

I just finished presenting a weekend science and faith seminar for high school students and adult youth leaders. Quantum physics, dark energy, irreducible complexity and they were ready for more. What a great group of young people!

We know that America respects scientists as the most trusted profession according to the latest Harris polls. We also know that there really is no such thing as science. There are fields of sciences but certainly no unifying variable. One field generally has a limited view of the other. The speculation, uncertainly, lack of evidence, and the like in the various sciences make trust in the physical resurrection of Jesus according to historical evidence look like no big deal. And then there is the sure experience of disciples of Christ for about 2000 years. Knowledge based on the evidence of experience. Where else would I go for meaning, purpose, and hope? I have no idea.
