[_ Old Earth _] The Science of a Scientific Mind

[Evointrinsic]

Just stumbled across a very interesting video (a rather short one, so please watch as much as possible). This is a visual representation of a transcript of a talk given by Dr. Feynman at the Caltech YMCA Lunch Forum on May 2, 1956.

The reason I found this so interesting is because it applies to exactly how I (and most atheists I know) think. I hope this clears a lot of things up for some people who simple don't understand how scientists and/or atheists think.

Enjoy!

Here are the original transcripts if you'd prefer reading. THE RELATION OF SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Thanks, Evointrinsic. I enjoyed watching these two videos. (I must admit, I was a bit disappointed, because I thought I was going to finally see footage of Feynman himself!)

As you can see from my avatar, I'm a Christian, and none of this has changed my mind, but I do have a great appreciation for science and it's great thinkers such as Richard Feynman.

With that said, there are those in scientific fields, though, who have either maintained their Christian beliefs, or have come to faith in Christ since entering the field.

I understand better, however, the way of thinking of most scientists now that I have heard how Feynman described it.

Hurray!!! I was hoping to get that kind of reaction He did an amazing job with all of this!

Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to change anyone's mind about their own personal believes just more clarification on what I find is the majority of the way most atheists and scientists think.
