Life Christian Fellowship @ USC

Life Christian Fellowship at Caltech is co-sponsoring a talk by Dr. Francis Collins (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Collins_(geneticist)), the former head of The Human Genome Project on its campus. The talk is this Thursday (Feb. 5) at 8:00pm on CalTech campus in Pasadena. He is a former atheist (according to Wiki) who, as an adult, became Christian.

His talk is titled “The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief.” (also the title of his book)  Just a side note, in Ravi Zacharias’ book, he mentions about attending an eye-opening talk that Collins gave about his work with DNA and his faith.

In a packed auditorium, Dr. Collins talked about how evolution (from a genetics perspective) and one’s faith in Christianity do not stand at odds, but actually that the intricacies of life point to a designer.  He had a chance to share briefly and personally about how, as an adult and a medical professional, he became a Christian.

What is broomball?  Only the ultimate collegiate competitive sport!  For the newbies, it’s played like hockey, except with tennis shoes, on an actual hockey rink — no prior experience needed.

This year the tourney was held at Pasadena Ice Skating center.  Among the entrants (2 UCLA teams, Caltech, USC, 2 Careers Group teams, and for the first time, Youth), UCLA took the crown this year.  Of course, as the old saying goes, the official position of the USC as we congratulate our fellow LCFers is, “it’s not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.”  Ahem.  Make no mistake, however, we’ll be back next year with vengeance, er, I mean a winning attitude.
