How Religion And Science Often Work Together

For whatever reason, science sometimes has a bad name. Maybe it has to do with religion and faith. Religion and faith, relies on a "leap of faith", which, of course, is why they call it faith, not fact.

Science is based on proven research and facts and its knowledge governed accordingly. Oddly enough, I happen to be a person of faith, but I guess my theory of faith, and there being a higher power is a bit different than many. I do not look at God as a big force in the sky scrutinizing our every move, pondering if we get to go to the big place upstairs or downstairs post-life.

My thoughts about life and death and everything in between, do not always please everyone, but as long as they please me, and make sense to me, then I'm ok with that.

My observation is that God can work through man/or woman in science, politics, medicine, and yes, even law. Of course I have seen the opposite work in all these arenas and more, but I tend to believe that is man's own free will and nothing to do with religion or dogma.

I noticed last week, while cruising the Internet for new things, an invention on the Internet that is patent-pending, created by cartoonist Rick London. I have known him since my university masters work, always knew he was a cartoonist, but this came as a total surprise to me. It shouldn't have. I always knew the man was a genius, but had no idea, an Einsteinian type.

When I viewed his 14 page power-points and saw just what the device does, I could see Rick had tapped into his own higher power. This only managed to convince me that maybe my own theory of faith and science working together is not so far off. I have always known Rick London to be a man of strong faith and principle.

Who hasn't seen the medical alert device with the commercial "Help I've fallen and I can't get up". Rick London's Insert Alert makes that obsolete. It is worn as jewelry, can be worn anywhere in the world, does not require a button to be pushed, is fully computerized/automated, dials the nearest 9-1-1 anywhere in the world, has satellite tracking, stores medical records, the wearer can be unconscious and it still does the work, even monitors vital signs and oxygen proximity. Rick's emergency alert device is probably the most amazing invention I have ever studied. And to think, I know him.

In addition to all the other features, the device even calls 9-1-1 if the wearer has a medical emergency and is not aware of it. Thousands if not tens of thousands of heart attacks, are ignored and thought to be indigestion. But not with this device. It even knows the difference, even if the wearer does not, and dials the nearest emergency or medical center, even in Tibet.

I truly feel the West Virginia shootings would have minimal at most, the minute the students were lined up. If even one was wearing the device, his/her blood pressure would have risen high enough to alert the nearest emergency unit. It is very possible not one shooting would have occurred. And I won't even begin to start with the number of kidnapped and/or tortured soldiers in Iraq. It is an amazing device and I surely hope it makes it to the market soon. This device can be utilized by so many persons in so many walks of life.

Dr. Andrew Beiler, a senior engineer and double PHD, at IBM, gave it the thumbs up. To get that kind of attention, it must be something special. One can read Dr. Beiler's quote on the NSATINC website.

The last I heard from Rick, he had formed a corporation and was in the process of raising funds to build the prototype. He is also auditioning for American Inventor on March 13.

When I think of all the lives this will save, from military to hunters, to hikers to skiers to the elderly, to anyone, I think, this is what I mean by God working through humans. It appears Rick London has tapped into that theory and uses it wisely. Congratulations Rick. You have come a very long way.
