The Meaning of Creation

Science and religion are not irrelevant to each other. That would be intolerably schizophrenic. They can mutually enrich and stimulate each other. Religion can caution science about the limitations of its naturalistic bias and remind it that it does not represent the sum total of all significant games that can be played. Science, on the other hand, can awaken religion from its dogmatic slumbers and jar it loose from its easy compromises with earlier world views. In such a give-and-take, evolution is not a threat to religion but a stimulus for theological reexamination and for the discovery of a richer and profounder faith.
