"Spirituality and Science
Meet" |

understanding God came to Sister Anne Madeleine when she studied Physics
some 50 years ago. She saw God in the laws of nature, and then in the
mysteries that science reveals. The writings of Pierre Teihard de Chardin,
S. J. showed her the relationship of Christianity to science. |
