Science and faith

Has science proven that there is no god? Is science incompatible with faith?

Is faith incompatible with science? Can a Christian also believe in the theory of evolution?

What is the theory of evolution anyway? Does it simply say that the inherited traits of living organisms may change through successive generations in adaptation to the environment? Does it also say that humans evolve from more primitive animals, living things from non-living things, ..., and eventually something from nothing?

If indeed there is a creator who created the universe, why should systematic observations and studies by humans of the created universe be incompatible with knowledge as revealed by the creator?

Are some of our methods wrong? Or do we jump to conclusions too quickly?

The world is in need of more people who are willing to study these questions in an open and objective manner. There are some of these people even in Hong Kong. But we need more of them. Too often we make up our minds too early. And once it is made up, it is very difficult to change, in spite of evidence to the contrary.

Note: I stole the diagram from my wife’s notes (who is much more knowledgeable about these issues than I am).
