“In this modern era of cosmology, evolution, and the human genome, is there still the possibility of a richly satisfying harmony between the scientific and spiritual worldviews? I answer with a resounding yes! In my view, there is no conflict in being a rigorous scientist and a person who believes in a God who takes a personal interest in each one of us. Science’s domain is to explore nature. God’s domain is in the spiritual world, a realm not possible to explore with the tools and language of science. It must be examined with the heart, the mind, and the soul—and the mind must find a way to embrace both realms.”

Is it a Fibonacci sequence?

Is it physics?

Is it a universal theory of everything and …

If everything, what is everything?

Is it a question or is it an answer?

If it is, can it matter if we have no filters or universal translator?

Is it more dark than what we perceive as light?

Is God speaking through it? If God is speaking, are we listening at all? Have we any capacity to listen?

If the heavens declare the glory of God, how much are we perceiving?

Is direct revelation in history and prophecy a concession to our inability or unwillingness to perceive more deeply what is clearly evident?

Or is the Word being made flesh clearly the clearest message of all?

And bendable, vulnerable flesh tells more than brittle word pictures for only flesh can truly celebrate the mystery and ambiguity of not knowing while embracing what is and can be …

Known.
