I have climbed highest mountain I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for I believe in the kingdom come Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one Well yes I'm still running You broke the bonds and you Loosed the chains Carried the cross Of my shame Of my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for But I still haven't found what I'm looking for

<"One of the great tragedies of our time is this impression that has been created that science and religion have to be at war," said Collins, 56. "I don't see that as necessary at all and I think it is deeply disappointing that the shrill voices that occupy the extremes of this spectrum have dominated the stage for the past 20 years."> Notice it's the "shrill voiced" (on both sides) that give away dogmatic blindness as opposed to open mindedness. Hey LOOK... Newton believes in Intelligent Design: <Collins joins a line of scientists whose research deepened their belief in God. Isaac Newton, whose discovery of the laws of gravity reshaped our understanding of the universe, said: "This most beautiful system could only proceed from the dominion of an intelligent and powerful being."> -ggg- <Collins was an atheist until the age of 27, when as a young doctor he was impressed by the strength that faith gave to some of his most critical patients.> To say nothing of the data one could accumulate through "AA".

Everything's elegant with this Collins fellow. When he looked at the human genome did he think that God just thought it would be interesting to throw a few curve-ball genes in there so that some children would be born with deformities or chronic diseases or inherited conditions that would limit their lives to one or two years of excrutiating pain and then death? I'll bet his perceptions would have been different if one of his children had been so afflicted.
