Unlike the brilliant founders of science (most of whom were theists), upon whose genius science was built and still rests, modern man has been persuaded that belief in God is an unscientific hypothesis and thus unworthy of consideration in any scientific discussion. Refusing to acknowledge as even a rational possibility the God who offers instantaneous access to Him in “the prayer of faith,” today’s science persists in attempting to find other intelligent creatures somewhere in the impossibly vast universe that might comfort us with the realization that we are not alone. This irony was expressed succinctly by a scientist:
“Radio telescopes, linked with computers, simultaneously search millions of radio frequencies for a non-random, non-natural, extraterrestrial signal—any short sequence of information. Yet the long sequence of information in the DNA of every living thing is a signal from . . . a vast intelligence—a Creator. But if those searching for extraterrestrial life ever accepted the evidence for a Creator, the evolutionary basis for their search would disappear.”
