Toast message
1. The universe exists
2. The universe obeys abstract laws
3. That at least one being understands these laws
4. That we are capable of understanding the laws.
5. That the being communicates the laws to us using some method.
6. That even though other beings may try to deceive us, that the being who understands the laws provided a way for us to discern truth from error.
7. That it is a noble and worthy cause to try and understand the universe.
The last one -- that it is worthwhile to pursue this knowledge -- is absolutely the realm of christianity. No other religion teaches that man should try to become like God.
Importantly is #7. If you do not see the pursuit of scientific understanding as the ultimate good, worthy of sacrificing your time, talents, wealth, and even sanity and faith on, then you can never hope to understand the universe.
And #7 is UNIQUELY Christian. Jesus invites us to sit on the throne of God, to become one with him as he is one with the Father. No other religion teaches men that they can obtain the attributes of God or even aspire to do so. They see God and man as eternally separate with no hope of ever bridging the gap, especially without any motivation to do so.
