Evolution, of course, is not something that simply applies to life here on earth; it applies to the whole universe.

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.

God didn't produce a ready-made world. The Creator has done something cleverer than this, making a world able to make itself.

At present, too much theological thinking is very human-centered.

Science and religion...are friends, not foes, in the common quest for knowledge. Some people may find this surprising, for there's a feeling throughout our society that religious belief is outmoded, or downright impossible, in a scientific age. I don't agree. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that if people in this so-called 'scientific age' knew a bit more about science than many of them actually do, they'd find it easier to share my views.

Nevertheless, all of us who work in quantum physics believe in the reality of a quantum world, and the reality of quantum entities like protons and electrons.

So Whitehead's metaphysics doesn't fit very well on to physics as we understand the process of the world.
