Let me relate a story that was told to me by Dennis Prager. Many years ago Dennis was the director of a Jewish think tank where I was also a member. The question about faith and science was raised as to whether one could be a scientist and a religious Jew.
Dennis's brother was a doctor...And when asked how he could be so religious, see death and disease given to humans by God...Dennis told us that his brother said that every time he looked into a microscope he saw God's handiwork...
Elie Weisel was also a speaker. When he was asked how, as a survivor of The death camps who Mr. Weisel could ever believe in God...Elie Weisel said that God was absent in the Nazi soul...but God was present when one starving child shared his crust of bread with another.
I may be a bit philosophical but faith and science are not mutually exclusive...Faith and belief may make one a better person...and then a better doctor/scientist/researcjer/
