The twentieth-century view of the vastness of both space and time has brought revolutionary conceptual changes to the sacred landscape. From a theistic perspective, God is not simply the source of the Big Bang, but the Creator in the larger sense of designer and intender of the universe.Notes:M3: doi:10.1111/j.1749-6632.2001.tb02125.x |
