Again, what can science tell us about the world that
> would be of interest to theology?
For starters:
The universe is several billion years old, so some ways of
interpreting the Genesis creation accounts are ruled out.
Physical phenomena obey rational laws but there is some "play"
in the connections between events. Thus we have a context within which
to understand God's action in the world as kenotic, rational, and free.
Among other things, this means that it is not scientifically absurd to
pray for things.

Fine - you don't have to be an intellectual to be saved. But
you also don't have to blow your brains out.
