"Modern" science has not been around that long and, since it's foundation, has commonly been seen as the enemy to God or a "god killer" in that scientific theories such as evolution have, and continue to be seen by many, as proof that the idea or belief in God is simply a foolish tradition of our forefathers and sign of human weakness. Maybe they should take a closer look at quantum physics. I recall learning about the wave-particle duality paradox at BYU in intro to physics. At that time I was both disinterested and mystified; in recent years, however, like many others, I am enthralled by the ways in which quantum physics, especially string theory, is beginning to pose some SERIOUS questions and, in many ways, is basically tearing down the theories which we have used to understand the physical universe. For those of you not familiar with wave-particle duality, check this out:
The overall idea is that the very observation of matter somehow changes it. To the man who confronts the terrible questions, this scientific discovery gives important clues to the vital importance of the act of prayer, the idea will power and even perception itself.
