"In the course of a single decade, Albert Einstein
discovered special and then general relativity, and in so doing overturned
the conceptions of space and time that our species had held for thousands
of years. Even so, many of us, at least intuitively, still adhere to those
disproved conceptions. We imagine space as an inert stage on which the
events of the cosmos take place. We imagine time being recorded on a
universal clock, ticking away in a identical manner here, and on Mars, and
in the Andromeda galaxy and everywhere else, regardless of differing
environments and physical contexts. For most of us, the unchanging
eternality of space and time is among the most basic features of
existence. But to hold such beliefs is to hold to a pre-Einsteinian vision
that isnot only theoretically untenable but, as attested to by numerous
experiments, demonstrably wrong." (The meaning of Relativity-Brian
Greene, Princeton UP, 2005)
"We
certainly should not forget Barth's reminder that he did not aim to make
us students of Barth but students of Holy Scripture. Barth took the lead
on this point. His is a passion in zeal for God's
glory."
"Why do human beings learn
so much, so soon, about technology, and so little, so late, about loving
one another." Henri Nouwen
You need not know anything
of or about either of these men (Einstein/Barth) to participate in that
which has been accomplished in the Man Jesus.HOWEVER, that which was
spoken by David Miller reflects not the 'scandal of the cross' but, 'the
scandal of the evangelical mind'
