God and Science

USATODAY.com - Townes leads life where science and faith coexist
Here is an interesting story -- with all the claims that "religious" peoples refuse to listen to science or even consider science from the far left elitist and academics -- this story is refreshing.
NEW YORK — When Nobel Prize-winning physicist Charles Hard Townes was a professor at Columbia University during the 1950s, a colleague, Willis Lamb, asked him if God ever helps him in the lab. Dr. Townes gave the question some thought. "Well," he recalls telling Lamb. "I think so."
[...]
But even in these often discordant worlds, Townes has found little difficulty in reconciling his Christian faith with the empiricism of scientific inquiry.

"I don't think that science is complete at all," says the 89-year-old physicist. "We don't understand everything and one can see, within science itself, there are many inconsistencies. We just have to accept that we don't understand."

Within the great unknowns of the universe, Townes argues there is ample room for faith in God and His presence in human experience.
Further, I would submit there are many Christian scientist that prove the validity of the Bible constantly -- not to mention many scientist that have set out to prove "there is no god" only to become convinced that God does in fact exists.
