Illumination

It is refreshing to see a complex mind acknowledging what it does and doesn’t know. Read British professor John Barrow’s piece on how science illuminates the Glory of God.

The concept of a lawful Universe with order that can be understood and relied upon emerged largely out of religious beliefs about the nature of God.

And these beliefs can take us down unexpected paths, further away from the everyday: multiverses, extra dimensions, the bending of time and of space - all may reveal a Universe that contains more than is needed for life, more even than is needed for speculation.
