The Cream Of The Crop

[Cure of Ars]

There has been a lot of great stuff that I have been putting into the reference section. I decided that I needed to serve up a couple of choice selections to give you guys a taste.

It can be hard talking with non-religious people about the faith because there is little common ground. One way to gain common ground is to use science. First you need to show that that Catholic faith is not contrary to science. The second thing you need to show is how the scientific method was born out of the Catholic worldview. Then finally you can show that a materialistic worldview does not account for all known reality and the Catholic worldview is large enough to account for all of known reality. Here are two links that will help science be common ground which covers steps on and two.

Oooh Cures these rock !!!

hehe you've made this Biology major very happy lol

[Cure of Ars]

I didn’t know you were studying biology. Very cool. My younger sister also went into biology. She now works in a DNA lab.

[StColette]

ooooh awesome Yes sir I'm working on my Biology major with a minor in Chem trying to get into Veterinary School

[Cure of Ars]

My sister is different she did DNA for a while. Went back to school to get her masters in forensics science and because she was tired of DNA she went into ballistics. The thing is, she does not hunt and does not own a gun. She doesn’t even eat meat. You got to love her. She is now back doing DNA.

If I had to go back to do it over again I probably would have gone into chem. I got scared that it would be too hard so I didn't. Instead I went into psychology a pseudoscience

[StColette]

lol sounds interesting lol I have a friend who is studying forensics science I hear it's pretty tough. I've been considering changing my decision of what I want my masters in. I've been think about something that would help me help the Church with it's scientific arguments against Abortion.

lol I love Chemistry, I'm afraid of it gettin too hard as well, I'm only in my second Chemistry class in college so it's still all pretty easy. Labs are rather fun accept when you're dealing with HCl

[Cure of Ars]

The cool thing about biology is that you can do a lot of different things. Some even help the Church directly.

You don't have to worry. You’re plenty smart enough for chem.

[StColette]

Yep yep If I knew I could get a job somehow working for the Church as a lab tech that would be completely awesome

Ok here is a classic straight from the reference section. This is a must read by Chesterton;
