Closing The Gaps on God

Harvard University is endowing a team of scientists with $1 million per year to study the origins of life:

The team of researchers will receive $1 million in funding annually from Harvard over the next few years. The project begins with an admission that some mysteries about life's origins cannot be explained.

"My expectation is that we will be able to reduce this to a very simple series of logical events that could have taken place with no divine intervention," said David R. Liu, a professor of chemistry and chemical biology at Harvard.

Good news, indeed. I hope it will prove a wonderful counter to the millions of dollars that the Discovery Institute spends to make things up and misinform the public.
