      Yes. Many scientists were (and are) motivated by a desire to understand “Gods work” more fully and in that way get closer to God. There are also numerous examples of monks and priests making scientific discoveries – such as the principles of genetic inheritance. And beer!!

      The more I look into science and the more I learn about natural processes the more I understand that this planet and everthing in it was planned and created by God. I can’t believe it is just a series of lucky coincidences.
