re christological cosmology: I am intrigued by the ideas you associate with George van Kooten (previously unknown to me). Do you have a reference or two that would take me to his list of scriptural texts associated with Greek cosmology and his reading of same?

Re Gould's two magisteria: I disagree, based above all on my acceptance of the epistemology of Bernard Lonergan ("Insight: A study of human understanding") and his "Method in Theology." 

From that perspective, I see both science and theology as generated by the one and same functioning of the human mind; with science being the method for dealing with "the data of sense" versus "the data of consciousness." Again from that perspective, I see "the magisteria of science" as 100% normative for religion, in the sense that the products of science trump absolutely any contrary suggestions that might arise from theology, but theology goes beyond science in as much it is not self-limited to the data of sense.
