Science and faith in Holland

Cees Dekker is one of the world's leading scientists, performing ground breaking work on nanotechnology and molecular biophysics. He is also a Christian and recently edited a book (in Dutch) Geleerd en gelovig: 22 wetenschappers over de God die hen inspireert ("Learned and religious: 22 scientists about the God who inspires them" according to Google translate!)

I look forward to seeing the English translation of the book!

  2. Ross, I recently saw an article online (and a lecture on Youtube) claiming that the total energy in the universe is 'zero', and therefore the universe has always existed. I can't say I really understood the argument, but I was wondering if you'd heard it before and what you thought about it? Here's the link:
