Pope Benedict said on Thursday that God was behind complex scientific theories like the Big Bang, and Christians should reject the idea that the universe came into being by accident.

The Vatican’s chief astronomer and a scientific adviser to Pope Benedict says he sees no problem with believing in God and the existence of extraterrestrial beings on other planets.

Nature and Nature s Laws lay hid in night, God said "Let Newton beZ and all was light. ALEXANDER Pope's words came to mind yesterday when I read that Harvard University is planning a major scientific study of how life began on Earth.

At the start of this third millennium, a new awareness of the magnificence and uniqueness of Earth as a planet hosting one intertwined community of life is growing among peoples everywhere.

In his modestly titled "A Word in Defense of Creatio ex Nihilo," R. William Carroll presents a lengthy and blistering attack on my approach to the science-theology dialogue.1 Although he calls this dialogue "properly fascinating," he does not seem to come to grips with it.
