Ray,
I loved the way you phrased this. Like any scientific endeavor or theory
building, concordism is artistry. Physicists love elegance in their
theories. Apologetics should also be artistry and do more than merely state
that religion and science are irrelevant to each other. Obviously, from
this, I do believe that the Christian faith and experience MUST touch more
than our inner beings. It must touch every aspect of our lives and be
relevant to those aspects--including science and the universe.
What I do for a living is create 'artistic' interpretations of geophysical,
geological, paleontological, sedimentological, geochemical & etc, data in
order to tell people where to find oil or gas. This effort while utilizing
scientific observation makes greater use of intuition, insight and poetry
in order to sell the concept to others. THe more logically tight and
encompassing one of my prospects is, the more elegant it is and the more
easily I can sell it to an investor for several million dollars.
