"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.

A blogger from New England offers his intelligent reasoning.
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design.
