“Everyone says that Christianity is a science
stopper. But the founders of science
(from 1300 to 1700) believed it was a science starter. Their assumption was that nature was
intelligible. And it was intelligible
because it was the product of a rational mind. Our minds, being made in the
image of that rational mind, could understand the design, order, and patterns
that were in nature. Thus giving us the
expectation that we could search nature and expect to find that underlying
design and order. Randomness plus time plus chance seem to me to be the
science stopper.”

Meyer
