Science & God

This refers to the article "A conflict between science and God" (Nov. 29). The man who started it all, Charles Darwin, is believed to have told Lady Elizabeth Hope shortly before his death: "I was a young man of unformed ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions wondering all the time over everything. And to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. The people made a religion of it."

The interdependence of marine, plant, animal and human life clearly shows that it has existed from the beginning of creation and was by Intelligent Design.

One recalls the words of Albert Einstein: "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
