LOST FRIEND

This week I lost a friend to the p******c. Mark Steiner was a real prodigy. He graduated college by age sixteen even though his parents did their best to hold him back. He was the captain of the chess team at CCNY. He taught philosophy and math at the Hebrew University in Israel. Farewell old friend, you will be missed.

What a terrible loss of a good and valuable person as well as a good friend. See my post entitled "I'm glad he's dead" for another person who will be missed by his friends.

From what you've said about him, your friend is someone whose absence will be felt by many whose lives he touched. Such a special person you were privileged to have in your life. I can only imagine how his loss makes you feel. There really are no words that suffice. Prayers I will be sending up.

Even though he was a believer in science, he was a very religious person. Somehow he was able to believe in both. Many years ago, I asked him how he did this, he answered that he studied religion as though science didn't exist, and he studied science as though religion didn't exist. Years later he denied that he ever said that.

A believer in both, hard to reconcile the two in a way, brings to mind for some reason John Polkinghorne, the physicist who became an Anglican priest and embarked on an endeavor to marry science and religion. I can imagine the conversation Polkinghorne and your friend might have had. I'm glad you have the memories of him that you do.
