LITTLE COULD BE SAID TO REDEEM THE TAINTED AND EXPOSED REPUTATION OF FRANCIS COLLINS, HEAD OF BIO-LOGOS AND FORMER HEAD OF NIH.THIS SHOULD BE CLEAR AFTER HIS USE OF ALTERNATIVE EMAIL ACCOUNTS AND BURNER PHONES TO COMMUNICATE BEHIND THE BACKS OF AMERICANS WITH CO-CONSPIRATOR ANTHONY FAUCI ABOUT WUHAN FUNDING AND OTHER THINGS THEY LIED ABOUT TO THE WORLD DURING COVID PANDEMIC FRENZY AND YEARS LONG AFTERMATH. NONE THE LESS TEMPLETON FOUNDATION, WHICH FUNDS COLLINS BIO-LOGOS SOME $4 MILLION PLUS ANNUALLY, REMAINS LOYAL TO PROMOTING COLLINS ALONG SIDE EFFORTS TO MERGE BIBLICAL FAITH AND EVOLUTION IN THE NAME OF OF “FAITH & SCIENCE”.

THE TEMPLETON VISION.
HERE IS WHAT DRIVES THE TMEPLETON FUNDING IN SIR JOHNS DISCIPLES OWN WORDS:
Why I Created the Religion, Science and Society Funding Area
A Letter from the President
By Heather Templeton Dill
November 17, 2023
“Sir John Templeton spent decades developing a vision for how scientific insights and religious beliefs could work together to contribute to humankind’s spiritual flourishing. Beginning with the Templeton Prize for Progress in Religion, which was established in 1972, Sir John Templeton had been trying to understand why religion did not receive the attention it deserved. He created the Templeton Prize to highlight “the wonderful new things going on in religion.” He published The Humble Approach: Scientists Discover God in 1981 to encourage both scientists and faith leaders to acknowledge what we do and do not know about the spiritual dimension of human existence. And he ultimately created the John Templeton Foundation to support serious research about humankind’s place and purpose in the universe.”
“Over the years, we have carried out this philanthropic vision by creating grant programs that have opened new areas of research and by supporting multi-disciplinary work on ideas that were being reevaluated in light of new scientific evidence. “
INTERFAITHED EFFORT.
“The Religion, Science, and Society funding area supports the discovery of meaningful and practical insights into the religious, spiritual, and cultural dimensions of humanity.“…The grantmaking approach of this funding area is to support work that engages substantively and critically with the sciences on themes relevant to understanding how humans navigate spiritual and scientific questions within our diverse social and cultural environments. Our approach prioritizes interdisciplinary collaborations, including philosophical or theological engagement with the findings and methods of the sciences. Supported work should draw from a range of intellectual, religious, and spiritual traditions and demonstrate exceptional promise to transform human knowledge or have high potential to meet critical methodological or conceptual challenges. Broadly speaking, we are interested in asking questions such as:
“What roles do religion and spirituality have on the health of our communities?”
“What can we learn from the world’s wisdom traditions about living good and purposeful lives?”
“How are religious beliefs, practices, and communities changing and being changed by the world today?”
“What does it mean to be spiritual and how does this impact our beliefs, values, and customs?”
“How do we lead lives of meaning and purpose within the context of cultural and technological change?”
- Science and religion projects that examine philosophical, scientific, and theological themes across different eras or disciplines (e.g., “braided narratives”).
- Research that explores conceptual and cultural contributions at the intersection of traditional and new ways of learning.
- Cultural evolutionary approaches to understanding the patterns and processes underlying collective knowledge/intelligence.

FRANCIS COLLINS /TEMPLETON/ SOME HISTORY. CONCLUSION
Even after all that Francis Collins has done to implode his world and influence- Templeton Foundations remains his loyal funding partner and promotor,
“Dr. Francis Collins is the former Director of the National Institutes of Health and led the Human Genome Project to its successful completion in 2003. In his leadership, public speaking, and popular writing, including his bestselling book, The Language of God, Collins has demonstrated how religious faith can motivate and inspire rigorous scientific research. He was awarded the Templeton Prize in 2020. His newest book is entitled The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith, and Trust. Francis joins the podcast to share his experience mapping the human genome, his journey directing the NIH, and how his life has been shaped by both scientific and spiritual exploration.”

COLLINS AND 2020 TEMPLETON AWARD:
“Collins, 70, was selected as the 2020 laureate by prize judges late last year, but the announcement was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.”
“The prize, given to 50 people since it began in 1973, includes a cash award of 1.1 million British pounds, or about $1.3 million.”
“Sir John Templeton, an investor and philanthropist who died in 2008, created the Templeton Prize to recognize discoveries that yielded new insights about religion, especially through science. He set the award amount above that of the Nobel Prizes in order to recognize the importance of what he called “progress in religion.”

COLLINS / BIOLOGOS WORK IS WIDESPREAD:
“Is there an inherent conflict between science and religious belief? Some scientists, including famed evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, argue that an understanding of the natural world logically leads to atheism. But for Francis Collins, head of the Human Genome Project and an evangelical Christian, scientific knowledge complements rather than contradicts belief in God. In his 2006 bestselling book, The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief, Collins argues that advances in science present “an opportunity for worship,” rather than a catalyst for doubt. Recently, the Pew Forum interviewed Dr. Collins about his views on science and religion.”… “I don’t believe there is an inherent conflict, but I believe that humans, in our imperfect nature, sometimes imagine conflicts where there are none. We see something that threatens our own personal view, and we figure that there must be some reason why that alternative view has to be wrong, or even why it has to be evil.”
“First of all, let’s look carefully at the history of conflicts between science and the church and be sure that those are adequately represented. The story of Galileo is an interesting one. But I think it might be fair to say that Galileo’s greatest mistake was being a bit arrogant in the way he presented his own views and insulting the pope who, prior to that, had been fairly sympathetic with Galileo’s conclusions. Basically the pope couldn’t let Galileo get away with this kind of insult.”
CONCLUSION.
BIO-LOGOS /COLLINS ARE MAKING EVER INCREASING INROADS INTO GLOBAL AFFAIRS AND INTO THE REALM OF OF FAITH AND SCIENCE IN THE CHURCH. THEIR STATUS AS A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE OF INFORMATION CONTINUE TO PULL HEARTS AND MINDS AWAY FROM THE BIBLE AND TOWARD EVOLUTION AND SCIENCE.
