Steve Wiggins has a reflection on the quest for scientific evidence of the divine. I was particularly struck by the concluding sentence:
Even if God is discovered and described in the laboratory…those standing outside will always believe, with Anselm, that there is an even bigger one somewhere out there.
It is an interesting question both philosophically and theologically. If humans ever discovered proof of an entity that deserves to be called “divine” by all traditional standards of terminology, would the appropriate response be to fall down before it in worship, or to look for what caused or created it?
