I am a PhD engineer and tenured professor at a research university in the US working on instrumentation not unlike that used in gamma ray and X-ray astronomy. I don't see this area of expertise as especially relevant to topics of 'origins' and faith that I am discussing on this forum. I started off here by asking questions then moved on to say what I believe about certain things due to some questions and responses. Science and faith is a personal interest of mine.
Thank you. I agree, your expertise is not particularly relevant to ultimate origins let alone faith. But then, neither is the expertise of most of us discussing it here. --- Engineers are often lumped together with scientists. But though related, the disciplines aren't really the same are they? Both their goals and to a large extent methods are quite different. The tag line Christian and PhD Engineer reads quite differently than PhD Scientist.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
