When I take the time to look back on my life it is very
clear how the role of science has taken front stage as the rock on which many individuals
have built their life and faith, but a recent experience outside of an ice cream
shop made me smile.
It was a simple scene and small interaction between a father
and his 3 children. As the four
individuals exited the shop one of the boys, about 10 years old, complained
about pain in his foot and indicated a strong desire to have his mom “take care
of it.” The father on the other hand had
a different idea. He responded, “You don’t need your mom, dad is dad and he’s a
doctor.” The boy just hung his head and
muttered “I want my mom.” The boy wasn’t
interested in the degree or profession of his dad, all he knew was that mom was
what was needed to make his hurt better.
It takes a lot of “re-education” to drive out of a child
what God has placed inside, but the world is doing its best to do just that
with its systematic educational systems, political forces and social systems,
all geared toward advancing a pathology which rejects the notion that there is
a God, which includes significant confusion over the roles of moms and dads. There are gifts which God has imparted to men
and to women and we ignore that there are differences between the sexes at our
own peril. It was fascinating to see
that for this one young boy mom still trumps science.
