Fifteen Billion Years of Searching for God: Neither Science nor Theology Can Afford to Be Dogmatic

Abstract

This essay argues that, in the search for truth, the findings of both science and theology are provisional. The author makes a strong case for clergy to stay informed about current science and technology, so that they can challenge their congregations to be skeptical and to develop a mature faith that serves the needs of contemporary life. He sets a healthy example, raising thoughtful questions about the nature of God and the universe
