  • Imagining the Creator God
    Georges S. J. De Schrijver
    Ever since it was demonstrated in the 1920s that the universe, with its trillions of galaxies, is caught up in a process of steady expansion, it became evident that it must have originated from an ''initial singularity,'' a ''Big Bang,'' which gave rise to the formation of subatomic parts, atoms, molecules, clouds of gas, and finally, stars and galaxies. Running this expansion ...
