Dr Dr. Duncan MacDougall
wanted to find out if soul is material or in-material
he wanted it to weigh.
He took 6 patients dying of tuberculosis
and put them on special weighing bed
and wighed them for last 3 hours of their life
as they were dying.
And what he noticed was, as they expect*,
each one lost weight, on average 21 grams.
.. and concluded therefore that the weights of human soul
was 21 grams.

What he then did, he did the same experiments with dogs,
... when they died, he weighed them, what he found was
that unlike the humans the dogs did'nt lose weight.
So he concluded the Humans have a soul dogs don't.



Pascal, Principles of Uncertainity.
His conclusion became knows as the Pascal's Weigher
it is entirely rational argument for taking an irrational leap of faith.

It is NOT CERTAIN that EVERTHING is CERTAIN.



Galileo Galilie vs Bible

But the idea the science could describe the universe
better than scripture, was harder to suppressed.
By the time Galileo dided,
educated people were turning to scientists not priests for answers.



But nowa days the Vatican even has its own astronomy.

CERTAINITY is science's Original Sin.



A science expanded, God retreated,
He became the God of the gaps,
occupying those parts of the universe,
that are unexplored and unexplained
the science don't get around to yet.

Then in the middle of the 19th century along
came Charles Darwin with his theory of evolution,
and the God pushed so far back that for many people
He disappeared from the map altogether.

Noah's Flood = 4500 years ago.

According to a recent poll
45% of Americans believe that
the Genesis says one thing and
science textbooks say another,
Genesis must be right.

Galileo must be spinning in his grave.



God Gene (VMAT2)
According to Dean our capacity to know God is genetically determined.



Meseum of Creation, Kentucky

Arch
74 ft wide 450 ft long boat.



In America today
Science and God seems to be on collision course.



Perhaps the scientists can take confronts from the words of Sir Isaac Newton
who was a man of God as well as a man of science,
He said this,
"It seems to me as I am like a child
playing on the beach by the the sea
of the vast ocean of truth lies unexplored
before me."
