" For me, and for many of my parishioners, a core religious conviction is that God is the creator of life and the one who gives it meaning and purpose. Any questions about the mechanics of life are best left to science."
Not bad.
I'd substitute "everything" for "life" -- but, otherwise, not too far from how this Christian who is also a physical chemist views this (non- to me) issue...
Thanks so much for the ping, curiosity. Very interesting, and well worth a follow-up look. Will come back as soon as I can.
