We live in a universe with a very long history, a vast cosmos where
things are being worked out over unimaginably long ages. Stars and
galaxies have formed, and elements come forth from great stellar
cauldrons. The necessary elements are present, the environment is
fit for life, and slowly life forms have populated the earth. Are
the creative forces purposeful, and in fact divine? Owen Gingerich
believes in a universe of intention and purpose. We can at least
conjecture that we are part of that purpose and have just enough
freedom that conscience and responsibility may be part of the mix.
They may even be the reason that pain and suffering are present in
the world. The universe might actually be comprehensible. Taking
Johannes Kepler as his guide, Gingerich argues that an individual
can be both a creative scientist and a believer in divine
design--that indeed the very motivation for scientific research can
derive from a desire to trace God's handiwork. The scientist with
theistic metaphysics will approach laboratory problems much the
same as does his atheistic colleague across the hall. Both are
likely to view the astonishing adaptations in nature with a sense
of surprise, wonder, and mystery. In God's Universe Gingerich
carves out "a theistic space" from which it is possible to
contemplate a universe where God plays an interactive role,
unnoticed yet not excluded by science.
