My sermon was not recorded yesterday.  It really bums me because I thought it was a timely treatment of humanity that led into our discussion of stem cell research last night.

I was incredibly pleased with my congregations handling of the discussion last night.  They appeared to take a much more scientific, pro-technology stance than I anticipated.  They quickly seized on the emptiness of the “playing God” critique, the chasm between “potential human” and “actual human,” and the responsibility we have to those who are with us now.
May our ethics have the time necessary to catch up with our technology.

All of you who participated in the discussion were acknowledge at the beginning.

My next subject is Intelligent Design: or why we are so bent on being at war with science.

Give me your thoughts on this.  What do you think about the intelligent design debate? Why do we bump heads with science so regularly? How do we overcome that?
