Our current vision of God varies by culture and by religion.
It has changed over the millennia. We no longer believe in the pagan gods of the Romans and Greeks. Why should
we expect that our current view of God will remain unchanged? Scientific knowledge and discovery is occurring at
a pace never before experienced in human history. Yet our concept of God remains mired in the 15th century. Religious
dogmas were conceived centuries ago. It will become increasingly difficult for religious leaders to convince anyone who
has been educated in modern science to blindly accept archaic doctrines as literal truth.
We do not need to abandon our belief in God to accept modern science and discovery. However were it not for human
inquiry, we would still be living in caves. Religious scripture is a combination of literature, myth and superstition.
Science and inquiry has and will continue to conflict with ill-founded religious myths. This is what intelligent
design advocates fear most about science and discovery. My book addresses the issue of the sometime contension
between science and religion and suggests that each try not to tread in the other's domain. I conclude my final chapter
with the axiom, "LEAVE GOD IN THE PEWS…AND SCIENCE IN THE LABORATORY!" I hope visitors to this site will review
the various excerpts from my book with an open mind. They may then draw their own conclusions about whether they want
to rethink their own vision of God. It just might be obsolete too.
