Smice every ~unday ,10:00 a.m. I've read several articles in the last week or so on Abraham Lin~"Oln and Charles Darwin. Qoth men were born 200 years ago this month - February 12. 1809. Until this year. I had never known that both men shared a birthday. We don't often put Lincoln - son of a poor sharecropper who grew up to become perhaps the single most imponant presidenl . of the United States - and l}dJWin - son of a wealthy English doctor who became known for fmt aniculating the theory of evolution together. One man held a nation together; the other created .political . theological arid scientific divisions . One was assassinated; the other · lived to a ripe old age . Yet the commonality of their births puts them down the san1e trap:tory of timeliness of their breakthroughs into public life .• Darwin published "On the Origin of the Species" in 1859. Lincoln was elected presideni of the United ·States one year later. Each man . fundamentally .:hanged the world. Through his presidency. Lincoln not only held together a young nation, he asserted the ·power of the federal government over individual state govern· ments - which remains unchanged today. Lincoln set the nation down the path which led it to spread from sea to shining sea, and his speeches and letters have become enduring examples of pragmatic idealism. Darwin revolutionized science '"" nioving it from Enlightenment era infer· ence-based theories to · the Modem focus on empiric evidence-based conclusions. His work set the stage for all modem life sciences, medical sciences and even modem farming techniques . His study of eanhwonns led to understanding the princi· pies of soil management ,' conservation and renewal. During his . lifetime. Lincoln was reviled - so much so that it' cost him his life in April 1865 . Today. however, Ihere are very few Lincoln detmctors. Darwin . on Ihe other hand. was never threatened with death over his scientific views . But ' Pastor Kerry Wood sim:e his death in April 1882, he has only become more controversial in many quarters - particularly in religiously conservative ones. Lincoln was a man of great faith. One of his advisor.; was reported to bave arri.ved at the White House at 5 a.m. in order to deliver important news regarding the war. Expecting .to wake Lincoln. the advisor discovered tliat Lincoln had already awoken at 4:30 .in order to spend an hour .in prayer and preparation tor the day. Darwin. too, was a man of fa ilh - even taking his Bachelor of Arts . degree from Cambridge University in anticipation of becoming an · Anglican priest. His interest in natural history, however, took him down a diffei:J!nt path . His core philosophy in studying nature seemed to be based on William Paley's idea of natural theology that observing the world led to an understanding of God and God's creative worlc. Over time, Darwin 's understanding of God's relalionship with ·nature changed. Perhaps that is why so many religious people view .Darwin with suspi· cion today. In the 150 years since Darwin published "Origin of the Species," the theory of . evolution has come to be seen by some as the antithesis of God's creat• ing as described in Genesis. Creationism and Evolution are seen as diametric opposites . with a "winner take all'" mentality that leaves no middle ground. But rather than digress into that fiuitless argument, I want to go back to the legacies of lhese two men - both are considered to be great men. What made them great? · I think . their greatness comes from a common willingness to challenge the sta- ....IO<OOlaiAa<atbl! Pastor: St. Rt. 124, Racine. Tornado Rd. Sunday School • I0 a .m..

Malthew5:8 Science in Defense of Religion Most of the time when we hear aboutseiente and religion, we expect it to be sciern:e Y!lrsus religion, or sciencund religion in 5ome wa,v attACking eB~:h other. But this n~d not be the case, as we see in a reoent book by Ihe llorntrd psychologist George Vailan~ entided "Spiriwel, · Evolution: A Scientific Defense of Faith." Vaillant argues that we are hardwired lobe religious. That is, our brains are structured to melr.e us spirilllal beings. PositiYII emotions like jOj', compaMion and empathy, which are arlmcated by aJ of the m~or religions,are arlaptive, wherellS the'negalive emotions like etiVJI resentment, anger ilnd fear, whioo all the mlljor religions war .· !lllainS~ rend to be maladaptive. P!WOt ha.s a positive, calming eff6CI on the brain and the person praying. Whether or not prayer changes the world, it can haroly be doubted that it changes the person who preys, either by caming fears or upfiflill!l the spirit. v..i&nt bas be&n criticit:&d by some for "biobgimng• refigion, but his !e5pol\5e b this is thlll. philooophers and theobgilllls haw not doneacompleiDjob of examining . . . refigion,and that brain research is '' · . simply another waywhioo to examine ,retigioo.

Smice every ~unday ,10:00 a.m. I've read several articles in the last week or so on Abraham Lin~"Oln and Charles Darwin. Qoth men were born 200 years ago this month - February 12. 1809. Until this year. I had never known that both men shared a birthday. We don't often put Lincoln - son of a poor sharecropper who grew up to become perhaps the single most imponant presidenl . of the United States - and l}dJWin - son of a wealthy English doctor who became known for fmt aniculating the theory of evolution together. One man held a nation together; the other created .political . theological arid scientific divisions . One was assassinated; the other · lived to a ripe old age . Yet the commonality of their births puts them down the san1e trap:tory of timeliness of their breakthroughs into public life .• Darwin published "On the Origin of the Species" in 1859. Lincoln was elected presideni of the United ·States one year later. Each man . fundamentally .:hanged the world. Through his presidency. Lincoln not only held together a young nation, he asserted the ·power of the federal government over individual state govern· ments - which remains unchanged today. Lincoln set the nation down the path which led it to spread from sea to shining sea, and his speeches and letters have become enduring examples of pragmatic idealism. Darwin revolutionized science '"" nioving it from Enlightenment era infer· ence-based theories to · the Modem focus on empiric evidence-based conclusions. His work set the stage for all modem life sciences, medical sciences and even modem farming techniques . His study of eanhwonns led to understanding the princi· pies of soil management ,' conservation and renewal. During his . lifetime. Lincoln was reviled - so much so that it' cost him his life in April 1865 . Today. however, Ihere are very few Lincoln detmctors. Darwin . on Ihe other hand. was never threatened with death over his scientific views . But ' Pastor Kerry Wood sim:e his death in April 1882, he has only become more controversial in many quarters - particularly in religiously conservative ones. Lincoln was a man of great faith. One of his advisor.; was reported to bave arri.ved at the White House at 5 a.m. in order to deliver important news regarding the war. Expecting .to wake Lincoln. the advisor discovered tliat Lincoln had already awoken at 4:30 .in order to spend an hour .in prayer and preparation tor the day. Darwin. too, was a man of fa ilh - even taking his Bachelor of Arts . degree from Cambridge University in anticipation of becoming an · Anglican priest. His interest in natural history, however, took him down a diffei:J!nt path . His core philosophy in studying nature seemed to be based on William Paley's idea of natural theology that observing the world led to an understanding of God and God's creative worlc. Over time, Darwin 's understanding of God's relalionship with ·nature changed. Perhaps that is why so many religious people view .Darwin with suspi· cion today. In the 150 years since Darwin published "Origin of the Species," the theory of . evolution has come to be seen by some as the antithesis of God's creat• ing as described in Genesis. Creationism and Evolution are seen as diametric opposites . with a "winner take all'" mentality that leaves no middle ground. But rather than digress into that fiuitless argument, I want to go back to the legacies of lhese two men - both are considered to be great men. What made them great? · I think . their greatness comes from a common willingness to challenge the sta- ....IO<OOlaiAa<atbl! Pastor: St. Rt. 124, Racine. Tornado Rd. Sunday School • I0 a .m..

But this n~d not be the case, as we see in a reoent book by Ihe llorntrd psychologist George Vailan~ entided "Spiriwel, · Evolution: A Scientific Defense of Faith." Vaillant argues that we are hardwired lobe religious. That is, our brains are structured to melr.e us spirilllal beings.

There was a male part Brittany Spaniel that came to my neighbor. John Weslfall's yard. four years ag.o. The- animal -lover tliall am, the Westfall's ca!Jed and I took him in. He was a wonderful dog that showed nothing but love. Last October I was .a c-laimant in a lawsuit. I alway~ let . Copper out when I was home. But the COUJt proceedings had .lasted a week, so I couldn't let him out more than a couple hours in the early evening.. He loved the water, be had his own swimming. pool . Sometimes be would go up in the woods behind our house to get wei in the creek. As soon as I called him he would come. On this particuJar day I called him and he didn't come. .We looked for him until I a.m. and still could not flJid him. This had never ever happened before. So next ni~t I stopped at The Cheshire Food Shop to see if 1 cOuld pay someone $200 to see if they could t'Uid him. I have had a hip replacement and my husband bas C.O.PD .. so we were helpless at this pomt. A boy that worts at The Food Shop said he would look for him when he got off wort. I found out much later that this boy really needed the money he had recently had a new baby. Again .pan of God's wonderful plan. . So this boy went up into thi thick part of the woods and found my beloved Copper in an open well that we had no idea was up there, and we have lived here 20 years. My other neighbor, Emma Palmer came to my home when she saw my husband, Steve, coming with Copper on the four wheeler. She knew how devastated I would be as he had went into that well .to have fun and struggled. God only knows how long he struggled to get out. Emma had written in a sympathy card that she had sent me, that Copper was groomed for O!)d's service as well as some other wooJs of comfon. I g.ot 10 sympathy cards. Little did I know what a difference my pet was going to make in so many lives. So when I went to church, Church of Christ of Christian Union, ( a church so full of joy and love for each other), I shared the story with the congregation and my minister Mart Polley (a man so full of God like I have never seen before). There hardly was a dry eye in the congregation. Almost everyone went forward to pray. We had no sermon that Sunday morning. Another neighbor Mart Frye had called to see if a dog he had found was mine.lt had been shot so I took it to the vet. I found a home for that dog and witnes~ to that person and told him what had happened at church. I found a home for that dog and witnessed to that person and told him what had happened at church. . I asked if he·went to church. he said not for a while. Then I told the six girls at the lab about the incident, but before I did I asked them if they went to church. One said she believed but didn't go to church. another said she didn't go to church, another said "she went. etc. This was an opportunity to witness like I had never had before. Cop~r who came with a thousand ticks and burs that I had ptcked off before I took him to Happy Tntcks to be groomed was definitely "groomed for God's service." Before Copper left that day he came up missing, I hugged him and I said don't you ever leave and not come back because-! love you so much. So I believe that God allowed me to say my .goodbye to Copper. Whoever dropped Copper off, you missed out on a marvelous journey with Copper and the Lord. Thank you Emma Palmer for being so kind and giving and always being. there to comfort me! · · . lsn 't it wonderful how God always works everything out.

BJ 8v S.NDRA 'WLDEJIMunt Scan "Groomed For God's Service" is the Iitle of this wooderM journey lb8t God bas allowed me to share with a wonderful dog named "Copper." There was a male part Brittany Spaniel that came to my neighbor. John Weslfall's yard. four years ag.o. The- animal -lover tliall am, the Westfall's ca!Jed and I took him in. He was a wonderful dog that showed nothing but love. Last October I was .a c-laimant in a lawsuit. I alway~ let . Copper out when I was home. But the COUJt proceedings had .lasted a week, so I couldn't let him out more than a couple hours in the early evening.. He loved the water, be had his own swimming. pool . Sometimes be would go up in the woods behind our house to get wei in the creek. As soon as I called him he would come. On this particuJar day I called him and he didn't come. .We looked for him until I a.m. and still could not flJid him. This had never ever happened before. So next ni~t I stopped at The Cheshire Food Shop to see if 1 cOuld pay someone $200 to see if they could t'Uid him. I have had a hip replacement and my husband bas C.O.PD .. so we were helpless at this pomt. A boy that worts at The Food Shop said he would look for him when he got off wort. I found out much later that this boy really needed the money he had recently had a new baby. Again .pan of God's wonderful plan. . So this boy went up into thi thick part of the woods and found my beloved Copper in an open well that we had no idea was up there, and we have lived here 20 years. My other neighbor, Emma Palmer came to my home when she saw my husband, Steve, coming with Copper on the four wheeler. She knew how devastated I would be as he had went into that well .to have fun and struggled. God only knows how long he struggled to get out. Emma had written in a sympathy card that she had sent me, that Copper was groomed for O!)d's service as well as some other wooJs of comfon. I g.ot 10 sympathy cards. Little did I know what a difference my pet was going to make in so many lives. So when I went to church, Church of Christ of Christian Union, ( a church so full of joy and love for each other), I shared the story with the congregation and my minister Mart Polley (a man so full of God like I have never seen before). There hardly was a dry eye in the congregation. Almost everyone went forward to pray. We had no sermon that Sunday morning. Another neighbor Mart Frye had called to see if a dog he had found was mine.lt had been shot so I took it to the vet. I found a home for that dog and witnes~ to that person and told him what had happened at church. I found a home for that dog and witnessed to that person and told him what had happened at church. . I asked if he·went to church. he said not for a while. Then I told the six girls at the lab about the incident, but before I did I asked them if they went to church. One said she believed but didn't go to church. another said she didn't go to church, another said "she went. etc. This was an opportunity to witness like I had never had before. Cop~r who came with a thousand ticks and burs that I had ptcked off before I took him to Happy Tntcks to be groomed was definitely "groomed for God's service." Before Copper left that day he came up missing, I hugged him and I said don't you ever leave and not come back because-! love you so much. So I believe that God allowed me to say my .goodbye to Copper. Whoever dropped Copper off, you missed out on a marvelous journey with Copper and the Lord. Thank you Emma Palmer for being so kind and giving and always being. there to comfort me! · · . lsn 't it wonderful how God always works everything out.
