The remarkable insights that science affords us into the intelligible workings of the world cry out for an explanation more profound than that which itself can provide. Religion, if it is to take seriously its claim that the world is the creation of god, must be humble enough to learn from science what that world is actually like. The dialogue between them can only be mutually enriching.

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

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