Any good scientist knows that science is a cerebral activity that must follow the Scientific Method, unbiased by any personal belief system. Faith, on the other hand, is an activity of the heart. When science descends from the brain to the heart, it loses its dispassionate objectivity and becomes Scientism, an idol for worship. Similarly, when faith in God is in the brain, we are not faithful followers, for we are relying on our very limited cerebral understanding rather than our love for God to follow Him. In the early 1960’s, St. Luke of Crimea, a renowned scientist, attended a medical conference dressed as a bishop. A communist approached him saying, “Do you still believe in God? Don’t you know we sent someone into space, but he didn’t find evidence of God up there?” to which St. Luke replied, “And as a surgeon, I have observed many brain surgeries up close, but I have never found evidence of wisdom in there either.” The communist’s mistake was his tower of Babel mentality in assuming that the Creator would be found residing within His own creation. The boundaries of limited and error-prone science represent our very limited human understanding of life; whereas God’s unlimited wisdom, which always surpasses human understanding (including science) is found by Faith.
