He alone is aware of the truth, and if all men were aware of it, there would be an end of life. In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. But his kingship is kingship over nothing.

Like many other scientists who hold the Catholic faith, I see the Creator's plan and purpose fulfilled in our universe.
