Science and religion...

...and a fascinating talk to a packed room.  Fr Roger Nesbitt spoke at an evening gathering organised by the Faith Movement, and held at Precious Blood Church, London Bridge. Among the points raised were the problems faced by today's fashionable atheists in trying to persuade scientists to stop talking about God...because the great advances made in science in recent decades have produced more and deeper discussions about religion, and the great reality of God and the "unity law" perceived in the universe...

Fr Nesbitt:" Modern science has revealed a simple but profound truth - the physical universe is manifestly one. From the furthest galaxy to the smallest atom or micro-organism it is an interrelated and interdependent unity....It is an ordered and harmonious universe, finely tuned and delicately formed. It is not a chaos but a cosmos. Science has consistently revealed that Law, of differering complexity, operates at all levels and in all areas. The differing sciences now overlap with one another. There are laws of physics, cosmology, chemistry, biochemistry, biology etc which are all interdependent, so much so that many scientists are now searching for a Grand Unified Theory which will bind all the physical laws of the universe into one Law..."

There is a rather good summary of the approach taken by the Faith Movement here...
