To be a Science Student

As a chemistry major (and possibly a double major with a physics as well), I sometimes feel that I walk a fine line because I am also a Christian. But I was listening to Pandora Radio today, and I heard this song. The verse sums up for me what it means to be a science major and a Christian.

"A thousand sparking stars upon a midnight summer sky
the majesty and wonder of the ocean's wondrous tide
and the more I see the more I can't explain
how the one who set the world in place
could even know my name, I'm amazed, I'm so amazed."

Science is for me a way to understand God better. He created the entire universe as a testament of his love for us. To not study science for me would be to receive a present from a close friend and not open it; just to sit and look at the box. There are very few things in my life that I am as sure about as my decision to study science.

Here is the whole song if you want to hear it



Cheers!
