The Scientific Mind

Engineers taking a refresher course in information processing share our supper.  An atheist among them vigorously contests all that Christians believe.  His scientific mind gauges everything by what he can know.  At the end of the evening I tell him:  "The questions you have been asking are questions that a man living by the certainty of God also dares to keep asking himself during his life.  This kind of questioning, part of our basic doubt, does not prevent us from constantly setting out from doubt to belief."
