In the spring of 1987, I agreed to give a presentation on Christianity and
science at Cornell University. I decided to experiment with a bro a d ,

P rof. Rex served as a lecturer in mathematics at the University of
Southern California and then as an associate professor of physics at
G e o rge Pepperdine College. Believing that the whole universe was
created by God, and that it is under God's control, Prof. Rex remarked that
any present theory of the origin and maintenance of the universe which
ignores or denies Creation either doesn't explain all the pertinent facts or
else becomes hopelessly involved and obscured. 137

Dr. Allan Sandage, one of the most distinguished astronomers of our
day, chose to accept God at age 50. In an
interview published in N e w s w e e k
magazine, which went by the title
"Science Finds God" , as its cover
s t o r y, Sandage explained why he
accepted religion:
It was my science that drove
me to the conclusion that
the world is much more
complicated than can be
explained by science. It
is only through the
supernatural that I
can understand the
mystery of
existence. 138
