I would like to draw attention to a fascinating exchange between the well-known scientist and atheist Profession Dawkins and Dr Francis Collins (former director of the Human Genome Project and a Christian).

The debate is summarised in Time magazine and the relevant bit is found here.  Dawkins was asserting that we are ‘profoundly ignorant’ about questions such as, “Why am I here?”, and “What happens after we die?”

Interviewer: “Could the answer be God?”

Dawkins: “There could be something incredibly grand and incomprehensible and beyond our present understanding.”

Collins: “That’s God.”
