In 2006, Alamo-Girl and betty boop published their collaboration, Don't Let Science Get You Down, Timothy, to which marron contributed two brilliant articles. The book has been described by an astrophysicist reviewer as “one of the rare attempts nowadays to restore the unity of science and religion. It presents a good picture of present-day science, focusing on the perennial great questions regarding the relations between Man and the Universe. It attempts the virtually impossible: to present a constructive dialog of diametrically opposed worldviews. It succeeds in opening a challenging avenue of conversation between materialists and open-minded religious people….” That's such a grin. This reviewer likely thinks he/she is being magnanimous to ascribe the "open-minded" of religious people to be mentioned as worthy of communication with not some but all materialists.
To any reader: there is utterly no conflict between Christianity and science. There is just God's limitless virtue and virtuosity -- and our human finiteness and fallibility, expressed in ontology and epistemology which are clumsy at best, each through our glasses darkly.

Indeed, we are merely observers "in" space and time. We cannot see "all that there is" all at once.

This reviewer, though not a Christian, is not a materialist either. Indeed, he has had his own problems with materialists! But he liked our book. :^)
Thanks for writing, unspun!
