The Big Bang Bust

So yesterday quantum physicists announced that the universe did not begin in some single event but that it has always been.  What concerns me is that now believers will try and weave God into this new theory much like they did the old one.  There will never be a way for humans to know how and why the universe is or did or did not begin.  We simply weren’t there!  I am fascinated by science and most fascinated by the science of the understanding of the universe.  I applaud scientist that dedicate their lives to understanding its mysteries and developing theories and equations to help firm up our understanding of where we exist.  I am awed by their genius and fascinated by their learned understandings.  However my God cannot fit in nor be a part of the universe.  He is a great mystery as Job found out when he tried to weave Him into his understanding of the universe.  God’s main point when addressing Job was, “Where were you when I made…?”  Job, like us, was simply not there.
