If the name doesn\u2019t ring a bell, Collins coordinated the Human Genome Project that decoded human DNA. He\u2019s also a follower of Christ.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, this guy just stared at the poster for about a minute, befuddlement sprawled across his face. He looked at the picture of Collins on the cover of Nature magazine. He read his scientific credentials. And then he read the topic of the lecture again. Then he sort of murmured, \u201cWait. This can\u2019t be right. This doesn\u2019t make any&nbsp;sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So we explained that yes, Francis Collins really is one of the world\u2019s leading geneticists. And yes, he really does believe in Jesus. And he\u2019s going to be talking about it Stanford.<\/p>\n<p>The student said he\u2019d be there, and I hope he does show up. He seemed quite earnest. There are a lot of students on campus who don\u2019t allow themselves to consider God seriously because they assume that science and faith are by definition opposed to one another. We hope that by showing them a world-class scientist who loves God we can dispel some of that prejudice.<\/p>\n<p>I love this&nbsp;job.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday we were giving away free homemade chocolate-chip cookies on White Plaza, and we got all sorts of wonderful reactions.
