    I don't think teleology and RM&NS are mutually exclusive if we
    compartmentalize - do science in the lab and do theology in church. The
    problem is that since Copenhagan compartmentalization doesn't seem to
    work. it seems like lab science - Newtonian physics - is only a
    pragmatic sub-set of rules that works within a human-scaled universe -
    not very big or very small.

    Is the universe sort of like the "Amber" science fiction books? A
    physical world surrounded by a spiritual/magical universe?
