We should maintain that if an interpretation of any word in any religion leads to disharmony and does not positively further the welfare of the many, then such an interpretation is to be regarded as wrong; that is, against the will of God, or as the working of Satan or Mara.

God & the Big Bang

"The Big Bang cries out for a divine explanation.  It forces the conclusion that nature had a definite beginning.  I cannot see how nature could have created itself.  Only a supernatural force that is outside of space and time could have done that."
Francis S. Collins
The Language of God,  p. 67
