"How would we talk about angels in the context of modern
science-theology dialogue?"
That scripture affirms, at least in some places, that angels exist seems
clear.
The experiments of the late 1800s and early 1900s which looked for them as a
physical manifestation, or at least as a perception of such by a human
being, have been, as far as I know, established a null hypothesis.
I don't think, as a scientist, I can say anything at all about them. Their
purported existence is not something I know how to apprehend as a scientist.
As a Christian, I find discussions of their purported existence interesting,
but not persuasive, nor necessary for my spiritual well-being.
For those friends of mine who claim they exist, and sometimes claim they
have apprehended them, I simply respect their worldview and see no reason to
argue otherwise. What they see as "real" I have no business denigrating. In
some cases I may well affirm their comments.
