Common Sense from the Vatican

The link to the story is in the title. But I liked this quote from the Jesuit in charge of astronomy at the Vatican:

“God in his infinite freedom continuously creates a world that reflects that freedom at all levels of the evolutionary process to greater and greater complexity,” he wrote. “He is not continually intervening, but rather allows, participates, loves.”

This is one of the very best summations of my thoughts and intuitions on the subject. The universe simultaneously is always-created, and ever-evolving. Creation does not imply an individual “creator,” but rather instead a spontaneous emergence of I AM that burst forth and has been flowing ever since.

It’s not scientific, but then I’m not a scientist. I’m a mystic. The two are not as disparate as most scientists would like to think.
