🧬The division between matter and spirit is no longer relevant, as physicists realize that matter is described in terms of behavior and form.

🌌The seminar emphasizes the need for an adequate and satisfying image of the world that aligns with our current scientific understanding.

What is the ceramic model of the universe?

—The ceramic model, based on the Book of Genesis, views the world as an artifact made by a divine technician, with the universe as a product of intentional creation.

What is the fully automatic model of the universe?
