No Attempt To Explain The World, Either Scientifically Or Theologically, Can Be Considered Successful Until It Accounts For The Paradoxical Conjunction Of The Temporal And The Atemporal, Of Being And Becoming. And No Subject Conforms This Paradoical Conjuction More Starkly Than The Origin Of The Universe.
