Comments on: Francis Collins Nominated to Head NIH http://www.highlighthealth.com/health-news/francis-collins-nominated-to-head-nih/ Discover the Science of Health Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:07:49 -0500 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Alex Smith http://www.highlighthealth.com/health-news/francis-collins-nominated-to-head-nih/comment-page-1/#comment-8362 Alex Smith Fri, 17 Jul 2009 23:05:40 +0000 http://www.highlighthealth.com/?p=2476#comment-8362 This is an inspired choice. Obama appears dedicated to putting the science back in the drivers seat, without the myopic fears of prior leaders that advancements in science are bad for the church. Dr. Collins seems to be a potential bridge between the science and faith communities. We need more dialogue between scientists and religious leaders, not grandstanding, and Dr. Collins nomination is a move in the right direction. Well done, President Obama. This is an inspired choice.

I don't think it has to conflict with science at all and I appriciate those scientists that share the opinion. After all; <em>someone</em> had to write the laws of science. "Theistic Evolution"; I like that term. This is the first I've heard of it. You know I think it’s great when scientists express a belief in God and religion.
