"...its a very interesting to hear the astrophysicists on both sides talk about it." Physics cannoy prove it, and metaphysics provides only theories. Even the discovery of the so-called "God Particle" doesn't prove what the (mostly) agnostic physics brains hoped it would: that some random event in space-time continuity caused the Bog Bang. When I study the science, I accept that the universe we know began with a big bang a long time ago. And I accept that life has evolved according to laws and rules and events we have scant knowledge of today. But when I see the night sky, or the relentless ocean, or the magic sprouting of an acorn, or the love of a mother for her son or daughter, or I hear the beautiful music of a great composer, I know there can only be one reason. God. TC

The most honests scientists in many branches but particularly in physics, also admit the following concerning what we have observed from what we have learned through science - each advance across a hurdle in our understanding provides new knowledge BUT also opens a window that demonstrates there is even more that we don’t know than we believed was the case before we crossed that hurdle.

The universe - what it’s made of and how it all operates - appears to be an infinite “onion” where each layer we peel back only exposes deeper layers than we knew existed. Some project, as I do, that that is a state of knowledge humanity will always be in - a state where as physical beings we will never understand the totality of the universe; the “end of all knowledge” will always elude us.

What the physcists see, what they admit they see - beyond all the seeming “chaos” in the creaion and destruction of stars, star systems, galaxies and the like - is an infinite order at work in the universe, and many believe that only “an intelligence” could have created that order.

For those of us that believe in G-d we did not need to see the order that scientists see in order to believe in G-d.
