"A Supreme Cause"

   Physics and mathematics deal with the fundamental nature of how the universe works, on a logical (although upper level math tends to stretch that term) and physical (duh) level. The run-ins with religion, and especially Christianity are entirely inevitable. The adaptation process between Belief and Theory, Faith and Fact is an interesting interplay between the two. Interestingly enough i found a transcript from, 1985, with the pope mentioning specific branches of physics (in particular high-energy and atomic physics, two very math heavy branches of physics) enhancing the faith. It can be found here:


Perhaps the Christian tradition would do well for particle physics in return? Jesus has had so many different representations, but i rather like nuclear physicist Jesus.
