Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.He (Francis Collins) always struck me as a competent and diligent scientist. I never knew about his religious views, and frankly, didn't care. I still don't.

Francis collins.
Head of the national institute of health in the USA and a seminal figure in the human genome project.
Oh.
Yeah.
And he's also a devout Christian, as if the NIH or the human genome project gave a shit about that.
