Assistant Professor Kim Coleman of the University of Minnesota's Astronomy Department, speaking at the same gathering, said the study doesn't answer as many questions as it raises. That's a meaningless question, scientifically, Rice interjects. The Reverend Georges Friedmann, who holds a PhD in Astronomy from Cal Tech as well as a Master of Divinity from Pacific Lutheran Theological Seminary, and who teaches two classes in astronomy each semester at Macalester in addition to his duties as Associate Pastor at Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church in Minneapolis, finds the controversy both fascinating and amusing. If you find my smile smug, you have gotten my point. The fact is, we won't know what happened to it until we look further.
Rice waggles an admonitory finger.
Friedmann is more conciliatory. It's long been a fundamental cornerstone of science that the existence of an extra-normal Creator is untestable, and as a scientist, I have to say that it still is. Professor Coleman declined comment. All rights reserved.
