2. That's incredible! .... the anti-science right-wingers won't acknowledge it though...
...they'll say something along the lines of "if God wanted him to see out of both eyes, he would've fixed it Himself".

14. Your dim worship of science is beyond laughable. Most of the greatest
advances in science were made not simply by Christians and theists, but usually passionate believers, without their break-throughs stem-cell surgery would not have been possible.

12. This is not
embryonic stem cell use, so I doubt anybody would have a problem with this type of science.

13. I think they are against using cells from foetuses, even farming them - which I'm against too;
although, to a certain extent, I can understand the desperation of people of non-believers, at least where the survival of a loved one is concerned.

10. My brother will like this bit of news.
He has been blind in one eye since he was little. I think they call it lazy eye. It would be wonderful if they could help him.

16. Yes, our Creator is some designer. Imagine thinking of allowing us to grow our own spares!

No wonder Einstein commented: My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble mind.'

On the other hand, as Mo Rocca points out here:

http://news.aol.com/newsbloggers/2007/10/09/did-albert-einstein-believe-in-god/

'As Dawkins' case for Einstein's atheism is based on quotations from Max Jammer's book Einstein and Religion. At best, Dawkins writes, Einstein was a pantheist who identified God with the laws of nature themselves. But when philosopher Anthony Flew went to the original source, he discovered that Dawkins had lifted quotations favorable to his case while excluding statements that refuted it. Einstein specifically repudiated both the atheist and the pantheist label. "I'm not an atheist, and I don't think I can call myself a pantheist." Dawkins forgot to include that line. While Einstein clearly stated that he did not believe in a "personal God" he also spoke of God as a "superior mind," "Illimitable spirit" and "mysterious force that moves the constellations'

On the other hand, Mr Rocca omitted to include Mendel in his list of the priest-scientists, and that only Galileo's powerful father prevented his becoming a priest.

On the other hand, it was poverty that prevented Kepler, who, like Pascal and Newton, was a mystic, from entering the ministry.
