ABSTRACT

Theological explorations of relativistic physics are typically preoccupied by the consequences of relativistic cosmology, such as the Big Bang theory, the universe's apparent fine-tuning, and eschatology. However, there are also fruitful connections between theology and the physical theory of relativity itself, considered apart from cosmological applications. Indeed, relativistic physics is much more amenable to a created universe than is Newtonian mechanics, or so it is argued. Drawing upon both special and general relativity, three intrinsically relativistic aspects of the Judeo-Christian creation are disclosed: contingency, unity, and beauty.

相对论物理学固有的神学

摘要

相对论物理学的神学探索通常被相对论宇宙学的后果所困扰，例如大爆炸理论，宇宙的表观微调和末世论。但是，除了宇宙学的应用之外，神学和相对论本身的物理理论之间也存在着卓有成效的联系。确实，相对论物理学比牛顿力学更适合创造的宇宙。借鉴了狭义相对论和广义相对论，揭示了犹太-基督教创作的三个内在相对论方面：偶然性，统一性和美感。
