and eventually the Theory of Everything will disprove the existence of a god. The priest quickly replied quoting Paul Davis saying, "that the beauty and order of the laws of physics themselves suggests that there must be something behind those laws. This conversation took a turn, when I stated, "I do believe there is a God, but my God is a set of mathematical equations." I got this idea from such great minds as Stephen Hawking and Leon Lederman. They both use the word "God" as an abstract principle of order and harmony, and as a set of mathematical equations. The god equation is better known as the "Theory of Everything". The Priest told me that even the well-known Steven Weinberg, an advocate of scientism and the Theory of Everything, does not believe in this different definition of the word God. Weinberg states "if language is to be of any use to us, then we ought to try and preserve the meaning of words, and "God" historically has not meant to laws of nature." The Priest used the words of Steven Weinberg to argue that I am using a play on words, just like Hawking, referring to the "mind of God".The existence of God and the creation of the universe can be discussed in the same argument. I stressed my point by telling the priest of the word of the late astronomer and atheist Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan said, "Since the birth of the universe can be explained by the laws of physics alone, there was nothing for a creator to do, and every thinking person is forced to admit the absence of God." The priest then told me that science has helped prove the existence of god. He stated that many scientist-theologians believe that evolution provides clues to the very nature of God. He continued to tell me that the chaos theory is being interpreted by many as opening a door for God to act in the world. I then replied by stating the thoughts of Steven Weinberg again, saying the more the universe becomes comprehensive through cosmology, the mor...
