Maker of Heaven and Earth

Continued from Page 1

To profess faith that God created heaven and earth is emphatically not about professing ignorance of particle physics or indifference to billions of years of evolution, both cosmic and terrestrial. It is to profess that everything that is knowable through science—from Higgs boson to hominid evolution—has meaning. The researcher in theoretical physics, no less than the professor of Divinity, performs a loving work of meaning-making, and in so doing cooperates in the ever-unfolding work of divine creativity. In such work, the original sin is falsehood: the unwillingness to pursue one's questions fully, to stop at partial explanations.
