Today's Wisdom

Those who do not pass from the experience of the cross to the truth of the resurrection condemn themselves to despair! For we cannot encounter God without first crucifying our narrow notions of a god who reflects only our own understanding of omnipotence and power

The New Physics and Christianity

While I was attempting to add a video to the blog, I came across the videos by Dr. William Lane Craig where he talks about the Big Bang, and the fine-tuning of the universe according to the Anthropic Principle (on www.leestrobel.com). And I uploaded to Google the 6-min. video "Why God Exists?" But when I wanted to add it to my Video Collection on the blog, another video by yet another celebrated Professor, Dr. Gerald Schroeder, popped up too. So I chose it. It is in fact part of the DVD "Has Science Discovered God?" produced by the Institute for Metascientific Research in 2004 which we showed in the Church in May. Dr. Schroeder, as you know, is a physicist from MIT. And in his video, he speaks a bit about Quantum physics which is still not well understood until now by many great minds. In fact this year, Canadian scientists are participating in a multi-billion project which will be run by the Large Hadron Collider in the European particle-physics laboratory (CERN) at Geneva. The project's purpose is to find the Higgs boson, dubbed the "God Particle." by the media. The M-string theory by Edward Witten stipulates 11 dimensions in existence, 4 of them are observable by humans, and Dr. Hugh Ross thinks that God uses the 11th dimension. The "New Physics," coined by Prof. Paul Davies to refer to quantum physics, is marching on to find God. Will scientists find God? Let us just quote the pro-atheist The Economist concluding its article on the current high interest by scientific research in religion and God (March 19, 2008 issue) "Maybe, therefore, it is God who will have the last laugh after all—whether He actually exists or not."
