Click through to Joel's blog. Ignore the political people attending and scroll to the keynote speaker, Dr. Francis S. Collins, the director of the Human Genome Project.

They are figuring out the Creator's "instruction book" for the human body, and thus racing to find cures for cancer, diabetes, and so many other horrible diseases. And for him, it is a journey of faith as well as science.

I love this stuff.

I was diagnosed with metastatic cancer last year (carcinoid) and just three weeks ago have been told by the specialist that he expects me to live another 35 years,with a decent quality of life, though I'll have cancer the entire time.

Anyway, 35 years is a lot of time for a cure to be found, and I believe my answer to my prayers will be achieved and I will be cured. I have to say, though, that that life expectancy news was a big answered prayer in and of itself.
