Conceptual Issues - Science and ReligionEven if the daily mechanics of our clockwork reality exhibit regular behaviors that we call laws, for some reason it is not difficult for most people to imagine that the clockwork was set in motion, even if from outside time, by a creator that we do not claim to fathom, who may continue to exercise a mysterious and boundless will at times within that creation. As for the details, we don't think God or the devil is trying to trick us with dinosaur skeletons or carbon dating formulas. We choose not to debate the literality of the Bible or be drawn into false debates to "prove" the existence of God within limited conceptual systems. God laid forth a world before us, and though we should not allow ourselves to be mesmerized by it, we should learn to appreciate it at every level, but we must let love temper our curiosity.

If we are not apes, why do we act like them?Any parent who reviews the behavior of primates like Rhesus Macaques or played with them knows they behave like children, and while growing up, human children engage in behaviors like them, which is why we teach our children to stand up straight, read and sail, and respect each other civilly, even if they disagree.
Any person with respect for life and the spirit of children would not plug human children into machines and euthanize them when they are done performing experiments.
If we behave like brutish animals, with no respect for other products of creation, then we are only that, regardless of the false trappings of our scientific jibber-jabber.
P.S. eat organic.
