The Language of God |
After writing class this evening, I attended a Veritas forum in the packed McAlister Auditorium featuring Dr. Francis S. Collins, former head of the human genome project. Primarily, he spoke about his work as it relates to his Christian faith. He also spoke at length about his belief that the Bible’s creation story and the theory of evolution are compatible. His hour-long talk was compelling although his arguments were not entirely convincing. Following his talk he took questions from the audience which was equally interesting. I didn’t have any trouble getting a cab afterward.
