It is this view point that I began picking up on myself, especially upon taking developmental biology.<BR/>All things testify of Christ and are eternally connected.Scott Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472284348874304084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-88918170823317697072009-03-24T09:21:00.000-07:002009-03-24T09:21:00.000-07:00Perhaps an understanding of evolution helps us und...Perhaps an understanding of evolution helps us understand organisms like the tse tse fly so we can effectively control that species.

I just wonder whether our expansive research and great input into discovering the facets of evolution have helped our society. Maybe it would be more productive to put the time and energy of our great thinkers into discovering the cure for cancer, aiding the AIDS devastated countries, or destroying the Tse Tse fly of Africa! :)RONBURGUNDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10138037943371322645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-58430670534020040482009-03-23T13:29:00.000-07:002009-03-23T13:29:00.000-07:00I agree that we (as scientists or scientist-wannab...I agree that we (as scientists or scientist-wannabes) tend to approach life a little too left brained, and that God instilled in us a sense of wonder for a reason. However, God also gave me the abilty to think. I believe he expects me to use that ability the same as Christ expected his servants to multiply their talents, rather than hide them. <BR/>My point is, we can have the best of both worlds in this instance.redne347https://www.blogger.com/profile/03848107039516628200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-8201005765974045902009-03-23T11:21:00.000-07:002009-03-23T11:21:00.000-07:00Perhaps what we need to decide is how much weight ...Perhaps what we need to decide is how much weight is there in science? I am a Biology major and I love science, but it isn't my ultimate priority. Pattern etc is a way for science to explain things... I think the goal is ultimate truth and we may all be suprised by the method that God uses to teach us those things.savethepeoplesparetheplanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16811429531356120255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-5843776241450076022009-03-22T23:42:00.000-07:002009-03-22T23:42:00.000-07:00I really enjoyed reading this blog.

I think when we have reached that point, we can actually begin to understand how to better the world that we live in.BibbyBobbityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02102180548024165037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-29809809971226881922009-03-17T11:50:00.000-07:002009-03-17T11:50:00.000-07:00The sooner that we stop trying to categorize every...The sooner that we stop trying to categorize everything and compare between ourselves and others we will be that much farther ahead.

It is nice to know that every spring you can go to your lucky fishing whole and know that a good catch will be made. Patterns are around us everyday. Some of us would like to pattern our lifes like chirst. I think patterns enable us to see something that works and be able to replicate it.gogreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15361701130651652555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-73317106561389961842009-03-12T13:49:00.000-07:002009-03-12T13:49:00.000-07:00Patterns permeate through our lives, whether it be...Patterns permeate through our lives, whether it be sunrise and sunset, the cycle of times of dating and not dating most college students experience. I think it is through understanding these patterns and why they happen that we recieve greater knowledge of life and our world as a whole.relandenviron347@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10841430743695704867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553871972231328986.post-17829689948320029102009-03-12T10:39:00.000-07:002009-03-12T10:39:00.000-07:00Its true that humans are always trying to categori...Its true that humans are always trying to categorize, label and explain things. I think this is one of the ways that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. We recognize our surroundings and try to make sense of them. We are continually organizing our world whether for good or ill. We are rational beings with a rational mind.bluecats347https://www.blogger.com/profile/05690723467525737174noreply@blogger.com
