Creation Moment 6/8/2019 - Symbols of Physics

Ah, Sovereign Lord,
you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm.
Jeremiah 32:7 NIV

"The image of the fundamental laws of physics zestfully wrestling with the void to bring the universe into being is one that suggests very little improvement over the accounts given by the ancient
Norse in which the world is revealed to be balanced on the back of a gigantic ox.
If this is how explanations come to an end, what of materialism? The laws of physics are sets of symbols, after all—those now vested with the monstrous power to bring things and urges into creation, and symbols belong to the intelligence-infused aspects of the universe."
 Dr. David Berlinski, The Deniable Darwin and Other Essays (2009), p. 159.
