If there is anything we have learned through this pandemic, it is the value of science. Look at how quickly the vaccines were developed and produced – and how effective they are! Look at how we are able to identify variants to the infection. Look at how science keeps developing new and more effective treatments. The list goes on and on … the value of God’s gift to us in science is very impressive.
