But faith and love would heal, as well as a good dose of whatever technology has to offer. Maybe your sweet daughter will grow to discover and provide the more ethical cure !

And I still am, in many ways. However, I have learned that some of my positions were errant and I was wrong. My passionate stance was based on the wrong foundation.<br /><br />Now, I hope to be growing in humility and, while still an avid supporter of truth and what is right, I do my best to keep my eyes open to what is true and right and am hopefully growing in the areas of pride that so often blind me to the truth.<br /><br />As for stem cell research, I have been hearing many hopeful things about adult stem cells. And if what I am hearing is correct, we can have great scientific advancements without the moral issues of embryonic stem cell research.<br /><br /> ~Luke I used to be a very black and white type person. And I still am, in many ways. However, I have learned that some of my positions were errant and I was wrong. My passionate stance was based on the wrong foundation.

Now, I hope to be growing in humility and, while still an avid supporter of truth and what is right, I do my best to keep my eyes open to what is true and right and am hopefully growing in the areas of pride that so often blind me to the truth.

As for stem cell research, I have been hearing many hopeful things about adult stem cells. And if what I am hearing is correct, we can have great scientific advancements without the moral issues of embryonic stem cell research.

And if an eighth-grader can imagine it and propose the mechanism, science won't be too far behind. <br /><br />Life isn't only black and white and gray. That's just how our limited human vision sees. We forget to hope for the whole spectrum. But God still breaks into our constricted world with strokes of brilliant color that reorient our thinking beyond either/or. Great article, Billy.

You may find this encouraging.

A few years ago, I tutored a really special young man. His team won the First Lego League Robotics competition, which is an international contest and attracts really bright minds to do original research.

My student’s team proposed a method for curing diabetics through nanotechnology: a pill that balances blood chemistry.

Awesome, isn’t it? And if an eighth-grader can imagine it and propose the mechanism, science won’t be too far behind.

Life isn’t only black and white and gray. That’s just how our limited human vision sees. We forget to hope for the whole spectrum. But God still breaks into our constricted world with strokes of brilliant color that reorient our thinking beyond either/or.
