It is certainly true in the United States that there is an uneasiness about certain aspects of science, particularly evolution, because it conflicts, in some people's minds, with their sense of how we all came to be. But you know, if you are a believer in God, it's hard to imagine that God would somehow put this incontrovertible evidence in front of us about our relationship to other living organisms and expect us to disbelieve it. I mean, that doesn't make sense at all.

I'm always feeling like I'm lacking wisdom. This reassurance that one can ask God for that and it will happen is certainly reassuring to me.

I think there are people who's lives have been saved because of the study of the genome.

One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.

In my own experience as a physician, I have not seen a miraculous healing, and I don't expect to see one.

I'm a serious Christian. I take my faith seriously. I try to practice it every day of the week, not just on Sunday.

The human genome will not help us to understand the spiritual side of humankind, or to know who God is or what love is. The well-heeled couple who decide they want to use genetics to have a child that is a gifted musician may end up with a sullen adolescent who smokes marijuana and doesn't talk to them.
