Abstract
Physics, especially cosmology, is compatible with monotheism, discovering a universe "fine-tuned" for the subsequent construction of stars, planets, life, and mind. In evolutionary biology, by contrast, the process is more disorderly, with constant struggle to survive. Biologists do discover richness, biodiversity. Earth is a planet with promise, and a promising turn for the millennium is that science and religion will increasingly become partners in caring for the Earth.
