To others the Word is a stumbling blocksee e.g. Romans 9. I have not discussed any scientific issues above, as my principal concern has been theological. I would like to comment that deviations from Newtonian gravity are well understood when one employs General Relativity theory. So, at least one scientifically verifiable theory exists which can at least be used to understand the evolution of the physical universe. Albert Einstein predicted the existence of these gravitational waves in 1916 in his General Theory of Relativity, but only now in the 1990s, has technology become powerful enough to permit detecting them and harnessing them for science.
Scientists therefore have great confidence that gravitational waves exist.
Joseph Taylor and Russel Hulse were awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physics for their discovery of this binary pulsar. Of course, God came before the Big Bang. Concerning evolutionary biology, Dr. Ludwig is quite correct that little evidence exists for such a theory. Furthermore, the theory of evolution is not of the same caliber as that of General Relativity. Evolutionary theory, while in some ways complicated, does not, to the best of my knowledge, have a precise formulation in terms of mathematics in the same way that general relativity does.
