5-7-5 ? No, no, I won't go there (I promised myself I wouldn't go there). Uh, ask billy.

I like both of these:

"Science must have faith
in order to discover
what God Has in mind."

"If science has faith
we may some day discover
what God has in mind"


They carry quite different meanings.
Versa viceing the first amuses me:

"God must have faith
in order to discover
what science has in mind."

Though, truth be told, god probably uses the scientific method. Smile



P.S.
A scientist friend of mine -- I repair scientific instrumentation and meet a lot of them --
thinks there's a high probability that god exists. "Science explores the universe, whether created or
arbitrary", she says. "Each bit of knowledge obtained through science exposes many more bits of the
unknown. Any estimates of the probability of god's existence, assuming god is unknowable, must
necessarily expand as well. And if god is knowable? I'm working on the grant application right now."

Another quote from her:
"Both science and god have a fractal morphology.  When seen from the outside, they seem unknowably
complex; when seen from the inside, we come to realize we're still on the outside."
