A Christian biology professor uses randomness to unite evolution and creation.
William Bragg was an acclaimed English physicist who received the Nobel Prize in
1915 for advancing the use of X-rays to study crystalline structures. Just a few
decades later, similar X-ray studies were key to deciphering the molecular structure
of DNA. Bragg, known as a brilliant, humble man, once commented, “The important
thing in science is not so much to obtain new facts as to discover new ways of
thinking about them.” The same might be said of religion.
In religion, there are many counterintuitive statements: The last shall be first.
It is better to give than to receive. The greatest among you must be a servant.
Death leads to life. Yet in spite of the apparent incongruity of such statements,
at a deeper level they speak eternal truths that motivate and inspire people of all
faiths. Here I describe another counterintuitive idea that is expanding my view of
the world and God - random design, or the idea that God created the universe through
random events.
