“The mainstream practice of science is still our best shot at understanding God’s Creation.” - President Haarsma
What about music, art, language? When physical science is framed in such an exclusionary way as above, almost 100% of time by physical scientists themselves (isn’t Haasma also physical scientist?), whether Christian, Jewish or Muslim, somehow it also usually values-under other fields, even without realising it.
If BioLogos president thinks praise and worship through music, art or poesy does not help us ‘understand God’s Creation,’ perhaps even much more than dry technical information and knowledge, please explain what you mean.
Science is one way of understanding among others. We should value it in proportion, not exaggerate it. And I think you have a very hard time convincing Christians that theology field is not a better way than physical science to understand our Creator’s creation. But perhaps you didn’t mean to exaggerate against theology science, even if you didn’t write: “Theology is our best shot at understanding God’s creation.”
