I'm a religious guy who loves science and technology, and I greatly appreciated this article.
Men of faith need not be anti-science, indeed, many great men of science were men of faith. And not by an incidental flaw in their minds, as the article puts it, but as a driver and strengthener of their science.
In the last 100 years especially, religious people have grown anti-science, largely because we see science growing increasingly atheistic. Others feel threatened by evolution, as if natural selection undermines the existence of God.
I am working in my own religious circles to counteract that and to bring back a love of science and a love of knowledge back to my own Christian circles.
In the meantime, articles like this one are helpful to dispel the modern notion that one cannot be religious and still love knowledge and science.
