Stanley Miller, atheist scientists, & the Christian's response

Stanley Miller, made famous by his Miller-Urey experiment from the 1950s, died recently. Miller's work, though now viewed as largely irrelevant to the science of life's origins, led to Miller being vilified in many Christian circles. Fuz Rana, from Reasons to Believe, writes a thoughtful post explaining Miller's legacy as well as reminding us that, above all, we cannot forget that Miller was a human being. Dr. Rana states,

If we ever want to effectively engage skeptics within the scientific community, we must avoid alienating them with our apologetics methodology. We cannot treat them as the enemy of the Christian faith, but rather must regard scientists as people occupying an important mission field. We need to look for opportunities to build bridges, not erect walls, as we present the Christian faith to them.
