In a recent interview, famous British biologist Jane Goodall known for studying chimpanzees in Tanzania, discussed her religious background in relation to her work. Goodall had a religious family that has helped shape her views in her work.
"What I love today is how science and religion are coming together and more minds are seeing purpose behind the universe and intelligence. Einstein did. And my good friend Francis Collins." Goodall said.
Francis Collins worked with the Human Genome Project and founded BioLogos, an organization that believes that God created the world using evolution. Despite their differences with young-earth creationists, at least this organization sees the element of Intelligent and Design in the universe and on Earth.
Hopefully those that believe in both God and evolution will see that these two concepts are contradictory, and that the Earth and the universe did not form by random accident, but rather by God's Intelligent Design and Creation.
It is encouraging, however, that more scientists are seeing the evidence for God, Intelligent Design, and Creation. There are surprisingly still a large number of scientists in the world today who are atheist or who claim to be atheist and deny the existence of God entirely and any concept of Intelligent Design in the universe.
Jane Goodall, the famed primatologist, researcher, and conservationist, is best known for her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Tanzania. However, these days, Goodall has shifted her focus from the jungle to the road. She now raises both funds and awareness for the critical fight to protect our planet’s biodiversity.
In a Vatican-sponsored webinar, she emphasized the importance of preserving biodiversity not only for people but for the entire planet. Goodall expressed hope that humanity can change its ways, drawing inspiration from young people, science, and Pope Francis, whose environmental stance has made a significant impact.
