If I were a scientist...
Amen about specialists not pursuing other avenues of truth!
Just last night I gave a talk entitled "The Good News of Evolution: Listening to the Bible and Science."
I told them that if I were a scientist wanting to make new discoveries about the physical world (e.g. a unified theory), I would study the Bible! All of the most important scientific insights from the past 150 years were foreshadowed in the Bible.
For example, Genesis’ Adam and Eve story says human beings are defined by their relationships with God, self, others, and Nature—more than 2,500 years before Einstein saying matter is defined by its relationships!!
On and on. Physical reality reflects spiritual reality, and long ago they were much more spiritually wise than we are today—but we understand physical reality far better than they did.
