My confirmation class was discussing the different ways the world began as part of their science curriculum. Knowing that they would not talk about God creating the world, I asked a scientist to come in and talk with them. One of the students asked him if scientists believed in God.
"We're divided just about down the middle," he said. "About half of my colleagues don't believe in God because they can't find enough evidence to prove that God exists. They claim that there isn't enough proof to show that God created the world.
"The other half believe in God because they can't find enough evidence to prove that God doesn't exist. In the same way they believe God created the world because they can't find enough proof to prove that God didn't."
"What do you believe?" asked one student.
"I believe in God," replied the scientist.
"But what about the lack of proof?" questioned another student.
"That," replied the scientist, "is called faith."
