Theology deals with the Creator which is invisible and unmeasurable. Science studies creation and its nature, which are measurable. Theology uses a different frame of reference. Science likewise, utilises a different frame of reference. The two are different, yet they complement each other in the understanding the God-created body of knowledge.

Could creation be part of the God-creation continuum?

Take for example our physical body. We are for all intents and purposes a physical entity. Of course for the God-inclined individuals, we are a physical-spiritual being, consisting of the body and soul.

Our physical body is a space-time entity; it occupies space and time; yet our thoughts can wander to the very end of the universe and beyond unhindered by space and time. But what is the basis of thought process?

Thought and thought process have a chemical as well as electrical basis, that is why we can record our thinking process by ECGs, PET-Scans etc. The neurotransmitters and the electrical processes that take part in the thought process are a space-time phenomenon, that is, they are concrete and measurable, yet the thinking cannot occur without this space-time electro- chemical phenomenon.

So are we to believe that the neurotransmitters and the electrical activity are different from thought? They are a continuum, one spectrum, just like ice, water and steam.

While scientific thinking is not limited; science per se as a tool is limited.

To cut the story short, science and theology are different in that because the frame of reference used by either one is different. One cannot compare an apple and an egg without looking at the frame of reference as the basis of comparison.

In any discussion, one should first be clear what is the frame of reference being used, otherwise there will be no end to the conflict.
