And in the Italian schools the only science that is taught is the modern one, with darwinian evolution being considered correct and not antithetic to religion.<br />After all, Darwin himself, despite being an atheist, said that his theory was not against the belief in God.<br /><br />I wrote a book that has been published this year also in the USA. I love the USA and the wonderful people that live there. But the reaction to my book, by some American Christians, surprised me: some of them wrote to me that I am not a real Christian if I really believe that modern science can give value to faith. And they also wrote that if I believe in Jesus Christ I must accept creationism.<br />I really do not understand the logic of those reasonings, perhaps because in my country is quite normal to be a scientist (in modern, evolutionary science) and at the same time to be a practicing Christian.<br />I do think that science can complete our faith and be a strong basis for it, by showing us the extraordinary power of our Creator, who is ruling an entire universe, and who was able to make life rise from the absence of life (by means of a process that humans call evolution...).<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Corrado Ghinamo<br />(Doctor in electronic engineering, author of "The Beautiful Scientist")<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
