Where a Christian's universe is described in historic terms or metaphor, a physicist;s universe is made of numbers. Everything it is and everything it does is contained in a formula made of numbers. Parables and formulas, metaphors and numbers, are all representational. They are artifacts, graphic substitutes for the real thing. Just ways of describing something.
Where the two conflict, as in this case, the scientists say it is infinite, not comprehensible, or simply not known yet. The religionist or non-secular scientist, says that which is ultimate and not known, should be described by what is known, plus logic. Our debate here? Creation happened by accident or it didn't.
