Belief

The National Post had a front page story on the opening of a new museum. The museum presents creation as a viable scientific basis for the origination of species.

The organization behind this museum is called Answers in Genesis. I have a friend who works for the organization.

The National Post made an interesting observation that in Canada, the debate between creation and evolution was not very active. Our society has become so secularized that we either do not care about the debate or we do not think it important. Apparently, this is not the case in the United States.

By coincidence, the National Post also carried a story about Einstein’s belief in God. In his own words:

The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand those laws.
