Friday, April 11, 2008By serving Krishna in our everyday lives, otherwise ordinary people can help change the hearts of out-of-the-ordinary personalities:

Francis Collins
‘An atheist until the age of 27, as a young doctor Francis Collins was
impressed by the strength that faith gave to some of his most critical
patients.
“They had terrible diseases from which they were probably not going to escape, and yet instead of railing at God they seemed to lean on their faith as a source of great comfort and reassurance,” he said. “That was interesting, puzzling and unsettling…"'
The scientist who ‘led the team that cracked the human genome is to publish a book explaining why he now believes in the existence of God and is convinced that miracles are real.
Francis Collins, the director of the US National Human Genome Research Institute, claims there is a rational basis for a creator and that scientific discoveries bring man “closer to God”.
His book, The Language of God, to be published in September, will reopen the age-old debate about the relationship between science and faith. “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, 56.
“I don’t see that as necessary at all and I think it is deeply disappointing that the shrill voices that occupy the extremes of this spectrum have dominated the stage for the past 20 years.”
For Collins, unravelling the human genome did not create a conflict in his mind. Instead, it allowed him to “glimpse at the workings of God”.’

Devotees serving with Food for Life at Lake Victoria have applied the principles of cow protection to change the infant mortality rate at Miwani village from one of the highest in the world to one of the lowest in Kenya.

Cow dung is dried and used for fuel
‘The government sent inspectors to the district to find out why the children were no longer dying.
When it was pointed out to be a combination of village technology and cow manure word got back to Nairobi and people in high places started to take notice…Here we have a story of cow dung having a dramatic effect in lowering the infant mortality rate where multinational aid agencies with million dollar budgets had largely achieved little result.’
