Playing on the opposite side of the “famous Christians wrote famous fantasy” card, I think it’s also worth noting that conversely, some of the most famous science fiction has also been written by some of the most famous atheists. Douglas Adams and Isaac Asimov come to mind immediately. There’s that nasty preconception, so thoughtlessly assumed by today’s culture and even some Christians, that religion and science are in opposition.
But that’s exactly why I am so excited about writing science fiction. It’s time to bring philosophy and theology back into science.
But there is a spirit within people, the breath of the Almighty within them, that makes them intelligent.
