Call me weird or whatever -- I truly don't care -- but it's a great way to live when you can go to Mass, receive the Eucharist, read Sacred Scripture, and recite the Rosary on behalf of someone -- and then teach others the wonders of the scientific world. Believing in God and believing in science to me is as natural as breathing. Faith and logic are totally compatible.
Can you explain the science behind conception without a sperm and an egg resulting in a virgin birth? Can you explain the science behind how dead tissue devoid of life becomes re-animated? Can you explain the science behind the volume of water needed to flood the entire world? And where did it come from and where did it go if matter is neither created or destroyed? Can you explain the chemical reaction that turns a human into a pillar of salt? Can you explain human respiration and ventilation in the belly of a whale? Can you explain the logistics of feeding and watering two of every animal on the planet aboard a ship for 371 days in addition to the migration of mating pairs from places such as Australia and the Galápagos Islands? How long would it take two fire ants from Georgia, USA to travel all the way to somewhere in or around Mesopotamia? Can you explain the science behind creating a human from a rib? Could you explain the vocal cord anatomy of talking serpents or burning bushes?
