Every step forward in our certain knowledge of nature is always a step toward the truth of things and, ultimately, toward Truth with a capital T.

Evolution, after all, is the way God creates.

Most media outlets present us with the image of scientists as atheists or, at the very least, people who are not inclined to see nature as the work of a creator God. However, this image only partially corresponds to reality and is not representative of scientists as a whole.

The idea of evolution is at home in Christian theology. For the cosmos and life to evolve, a positive amount of information is necessary. I do not believe that biological evolution is possible in a materialistic world, without information, without direction, without a plan.
