However, As The Eastern Churches Have Always

People, And Especially Theologians, Should Try To Familiarize Themselves With Scientific Ideas. Of Course, Science Is Technical In Many Respects, But There Are Some Very Good Books That Try To Set Out Some Of The Conceptual Structure Of Science.

Theologians Have A Great Problem Because They're Seeking To Speak About God. Since God Is The Ground Of Everything That Is, There's A Sense In Which Every Human Inquiry Is Grist To The Theological Mill. Obviously, No Theologian Can Know Everything.

Science Cannot Tell Theology How To Construct A Doctrine Of Creation, But You Can't Construct A Doctrine Of Creation Without Taking Account Of The Age Of The Universe And The Evolutionary Character Of Cosmic History.

Well, It's Because I Gladly Acknowledge Some Ideas That Are Part Of Process Theology, But Which I Think Are Not Tied To All The Details Of Process Thought, And Are Very Illuminating And Helpful.

I Also Think We Need To Maintain Distinctions - The Doctrine Of Creation Is Different From A Scientific Cosmology, And We Should Resist The Temptation, Which Sometimes Scientists Give In To, To Try To Assimilate The Concepts Of Theology To The Concepts Of Science.
