/sci/ - Science & Math

Hi,

It was maybe 2 or 3 years ago when I watched a video of you having a some sort of debate with Bill O'Reilly. Those times I was still a believer, mostly because I had been brought up in a christian family. Mother is a theist, I dont know about my dad. Anyway, it was only about about one week after watching it, and I simply had no other choice but to stop believing. And yes, there was some kind of "empty hole" inside me after I had explained so many things in my life by a supernatural beeing.

As any true free thinker would say, supernatural never explains anything. I became extremely curious about the world around me. After these two years, science has became some kind of obsession to me. I studied hard sciences so much, that I won my countrys high school-competition in theoretical chemistry, and was in top-20 in mathematics and physics as well. I was also close of getting into International Chemistry Olympiad of Japan. Now I'm studying both medicine and physics in two different universities.

Richard, Thank you so much for being in that show. I could have never imagined how beautiful the truth is.

And I have to apologize my terrible language skills. I'm sorry, science is way more intresting. Aleksi

But we are molecular machines

We are survival machines - robot vehicles blindly programmed to preserve the selfish molecules known as genes.

why you so mad?

I've had a public 'debate' with Francis Collins in New York, and given him lunch in New College, Oxford. I can testify that he is an extremely nice man, with a genuine love of science, and a huge enthusiasm for scientific research. His loyalty to evangelical Christianity baffles me, but it doesn't seem to be contaminating his approach to science, or to the way he runs the NIH. I cannot bring myself to be hostile to Obama's appointing him to that onerous task.
