Thanks for this timely perspective… I was talking with a friend recently about human (aka scientific) knowledge… and I liken it to a balloon… all we know and learn is contained within the balloon… God is both what’s within AND outside of the membrane of the balloon… as Buzz Lightyear said “To infinity and beyond “!
I remember watching Particle Fever and being intrigued (though thoroughly confused) when the physicists talked about the size of the Higgs boson particle. Apparently, if the size was ~115 GeV it meant one thing and if the size was ~140 GeV it meant something else. The particle landed in between the two sizes (~125 GeV) which didn’t align with the predictions of either camp. That literally made me weep.
I was surprised by the raw emotion I felt watching Peter Higgs learn that his ‘God particle’ is real. It was truly beautiful. God’s invisible qualities and divine nature are revealed in Creation, whether individual physicists acknowledge it or not. The fact that the particle is different from what anyone expected is so typical of our Creator. He seems to genuinely love surprises.
I love this story about Einsteins struggles with the truth hidden in his math. Most people have never heard about it. Every Christian who believes science is their enemy should read about it. The strange part is that in spite of Genesis 1:1 the Church believed in an eternal universe for centuries because of their respect for the thinking of Aristotle.
The belief that humans and their God-given Earth are the center of Creation (as Eden before the Fall) is most aligned with Genesis - and a flat terrain with firmament above and enveloping it as well. Cheers, Tom

Top Three Religion/Science events:
3. Transfiguration
2. The Star of Bethlehem
1. Let There Be Light (Genesis Creation)
(Yes, I know, I forgot Rising from the Dead and Ascending into Heaven. Have at it.)
Excellent insight! Thank you!
