Thank you for these stunning images of creative / created beauty. As well as for the excellent introduction into Newton’s understanding and insight into “the ideas and will of a Being necessarily existing.”

Looking forward to the launch of your ‘devotional’. W.

"... brushstrokes of mathematics on the canvas of the universe ..." Exactly.

So, what's the canvas made of? (Or is it the paints?) Those purified "charged particles" from the black hole jets? Particles of God's thoughts? The Holy Spirit? And what exactly is the brush?

Also like this idea: "But I’m going full-on Carl-Sagan-contemplating-the-universe with it. Only, you know, from a Christian perspective."

Looking forward to "seeing" that too.

I originally thought of the canvas as the fabric of spacetime, but even that is imbued with mathematics. The canvas must be something more foundational, though I'm not sure what exactly.
