The Marriage of Science and Religion can Transform Our World

"Humanity is the fruit of fourteen billion years of unbroken evolution, now becoming conscious of itself…When the Bible speaks about God forming us from the dust of the Earth, it's actually true, we did not come into this world—we grew out of it, just like an apple grows from an apple tree. Do you get this? I mean, do you really get this? We are the universe becoming conscious of itself. We are stardust that has begun to contemplate the stars. We have arisen out of the dynamics of the Earth. Four billion years ago, our planet was molten rock, and now it sings opera."
