Outside Reading - Robbie Heath

The idea behind this post combines the reading of an outside book and a TV show. I have recently been reading A Reason For God by Timothy Keller. It is a text in response to the recent works by authors such as Christopher Hitchens who have written in opposition to the existence of God. It is this theme of doubting but yet trust in science that is seen in the main character in the show House. It is this doubt that Keller also tackles in his book, except he is arguing that God does exist. As mentioned that is a major theme in House. He is a highly acclaimed medical doctor in the show, but does not accept the existence of God or really anything outside of science. The argument that is most readily used against Dr. House is when a very strange and almost impossible set of events have happened. Patients such as once, a priest, ask, "Do you really think that all these things have happened just by chance?" This is also a similar opposition given by Keller in his book. Connecting to this theme of science and religion. Keller suggests that there are many things science has not yet completely proven to us. Although certain things are set in stone there are others that people are taking on faith just as religious people do, but it is not recognized as faith in the scientific world. Does this seem like a plausible idea?
