If the experience of science teaches anything, it's that the world is very strange and surprising. The many revolutions in science have certainly shown that.

Chance doesn't mean meaningless randomness, but historical contingency. This happens rather than that, and that's the way that novelty, new things, come about.

The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth.

Those theologians who are beginning to take the doctrine of creation very seriously should pay some attention to science's story.

Of course, nobody would deny the importance of human beings for theological thinking, but the time span of history that theologians think about is a few thousand years of human culture rather than the fifteen billion years of the history of the universe.

God is not a God of the edges, with a vested interest in beginnings. God is the God of the whole show.

I need the binocular approach of science and religion if I am to do any sort of justice to the deep and rich reality of the world in which we live.
