The proper duty of science - giving credit where credit is due...

Why did you post that? I don't have a Facebook account so I can't watch it, but I know that neither Francis Collins nor Stephen Colbert believe in the literal inerrancy of Scripture.

In my opinion, every scientist on earth should be familiar with John 9.

I would love to hear your reasoning behind this. And I'm not being facetious here. I do want to.

Have you read it?

It's a classic example of how the scientists of that time were put in their place by a miracle from God.

And their unwillingness to give credit where credit was due made them look (and act) bad.

Oh, how I wish scientists today would understand this.

I can sum up John 9 with one of my favorite pictures:

I have dealt with many a reference section, author list, and acknowledgement in a scientific paper. No gods were ever mentioned, cited, or thanked.

It would help them get around some mental blocks nowadays.

For instance, they would learn to understand why there hasn't been found any evidence of the Flood.*

* With the exception of white cliffs and meandering rivers.

No, I meant as in... more. As in, an actual going through of the chapter to show the relevance and connect what you claim John 9 says to what you claim about science and scientists.

But that... that was lazy.

You know that if I read it, I'm not going to get the same message from it as you did since I have no vehement desire and need to see scientists and science as a negative force in the world.

Interesting choice of scientist for a Creationist.

Francis Collins is most famous for his work on the human genome project which allowed the demonstration of the patterns of similarity with Chimpanzees to support our evolutionary history and common ancestry.

Sounds like a great reason to pray for both!

The only part of John 9 that is relevant to science is verse 4 ('the night cometh, when no man can work'), which is incorrect. Astronomers do a lot of their work at night. For my part, I am hoping for evening to come, to give me a chance of seeing Comet Tsuchinchan-ATLAS.
