Amid the burning layers of grace: Science as prayer
Paleontologist, geologist and theologian Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, SJ said "By means of all created things, without exception, the divine assails us, penetrates us and moulds us…we live steeped in its burning layers.” If God speaks to us through the created world, can scientific research be a way to pray?
