Of course, we'd all like God to just show up—but He more often than not, doesn't. We know this. We'd also like there to be ample evidence for God's presence in our world and universe—but more often than not, there isn't. And various skeptical types of scientists have, more often than not, attempted to affirm why they think God doesn't exist and why you and I shouldn't think He does either.
However, in the TED Talk below, Bryan Enderle (BS degrees, in Chemical and Petroleum Engineering; an MA in Theology; and an MS and PhD in Chemical Engineering) presents another way to perhaps think about the complications that accompany the act of valuing and doing science on the one hand, and still finding the concept of God as something relevant on the other hand.
I love Enderle's subtle wit, and ...hey!!... the video's only 13 minutes long. That's chump change as far as time goes, especially if it's for a speaker who is interesting to listen to. ENJOY and discuss!
Addendum: Ok. I've heard some useful comments by many of you, and thus far, it seems that the 1st video I've posted featuring Bryan Enderle has received mixed reviews. And that's ok. However, since I like Enderle's presentation style, and I agree with the basic direction of his philosophy of science and theology in his talks, I think I'll just make this thread a Bryan Enderle Clearing House. So, I've posted another video which, for those you who would like to hear Enderle expand a bit upon what he said in his first video, will provide more here to chew on.
Check out these links for quick synopses of Bryan Enderle's viewpoint:
1) Bryan Enderle's view on Science and Faith
2) Bryan Enderle's Religious Work
One more video for those interested:
