Read up on the Anthropic Cosmological Principal

This was devised by atheists

In one sense it was like one of the five proofs of God's existence by Thomas Aquinus, the Teleological argument.

Repeat, it came from the atheist camp and was described by atheists as "The worst thing to come down the pipe"

Oh the irony

When I saw in the 1980's a BBC Horizon programme about without ever mentioning a creator this it just spoke to me of God at work, especially where it dealt with the just so-ness of fundamental physical constants. I felt they should have had a theologian on the programme to mention this implication but there was none

Remember the mantra, the atheists came up with this one.

Remember what the psalmist says:

The fool [a] says in his heart, "There is no God." (Psalm 14:1 )

And years later the apostle Paul would write, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." (Romans 1:20)

To this day, it still feels odd that they never had any one from any religion discussing the implications of the Anthropic Principal, yet they had clergy on to discuss of course the Gaia Hypothesis by Lames Lovelock.

Why?

As for sciientists and faith, I have met a good scientist working in a bio-science field who is a committed Christian and at one time was a member of our congregation. He now worships in Scotland. I am friends on facebook and twitter with Dr Pamela Gay and astronomer and Christian believer.

It is possible to be a person of faith and science, as indeed I am also.
