<DIV>Jack,</DIV>

<DIV>The Ground of Being that WAS before the big bang, and the Evolutionary
Impulse (Becoming) that started the big bang, is what we've called
God. (This I've gleaned from Andrew Cohen.) I agree it is all intelligent, but
our tiny brains cannot begin to understand it. IT is the All, in the phrases,
"All that is, is good." and "I am One with All That Is." Science is about
grappling to understand it. Good scientists are usually in awe of what they're
discovering. What else would keep someone looking in a microscope all day
every day for years, or whatever laborious process is required in their
discipline? Scientists like Bryan Swimme and men of faith like Thomas Berry
sometimes collaborate to come up with inspired works, like
<STRONG><EM>The Universe Story. </EM></STRONG>This is all just my humble
opinion, as is the belief that the church, the cutting edge today, is the
evolutionary spirituality movement. Jean Houston is a recognized leader of it
and almost invariably ends her internet sessions with "These are the
times, we are the people."</DIV>

the "Grand Design", it is the contention of some that the creative process,
that which underlies all, is inherently intelligent and that intelligence
can be
understood.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV></FONT><BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Dialogue
