The consequences for Big Bang theory for theology are profound. For faith traditions that describe the universe as having been created by God from nothingness (ex nihilo) this is an electrifying outcome. Does such an astonishing event as the Big Bang fit the definition of a miracle? The sense of awe created by these realizations has caused more than a few agnostic scientists to sound downright theological. In 'God and the Astronomers' book, the astrophysicist Robert Jastrow wrote this final paragraph :" At this moment ,it seems as though science will never be able to raise the curtain on the mystery of creation.For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason ,the story ends like a bad dream.He has scaled the mountains of ignorance;he is about to conquer the highest peak ; as he pulls himself over the final rock ,he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries.


Taken from the book I am currently reading: The Language of God by Francis Collins , head of the Human Genome Project and winner of Nobel Prize, makes the case that science and faith co-exist.
