Science has everything to say about what is possible. Science has nothing to say about what is permissible. – Charles Krauthammer President Obama wants science to determine the perilous path forward for stem cell research.  I thought CK’s comment was particularly poignant.  Please take a moment and read his insightful article.  Science can provide many of the facts and perhaps document evidence.  However, decisions for protecting life of the unborn needs to be made prayerfully and in light of scriptures, not just the biology...
